The apmd program also lets you run arbitrary programs when APM events happen (for example, you can eject PCMCIA devices when you suspend, or change hard drive timeouts when you connect the battery). . This package contains apmd(8), a daemon for logging and acting on APM events, apm(1), a client that prints /proc/apm, xapm(1x), an X11 utility that displays a little graph, on_ac_power(1), a program for shell scripts to determine if wall power is connected, and tailf(1) which follows the growth of a log file without writing to disk. . Recent Debian kernels include APM support which is disabled by default. You need to pass "apm=1" on your lilo command line if you want to enable apm.
