Description-en: simple battery power monitor for laptops with ACPI
fdpowermon is a simple perl script that installs an icon in a system
tray compatible with the freedesktop.org specification.
.
Every three seconds, fdpowermon calls acpi to find out what the current
battery level is. It will set the output of the acpi command as a
tooltip text, and will update the used icon as appropriate.
.
In addition, fdpowermon can optionally call perl subroutines when the
power reaches a given level. No such subroutines are provided or
enabled by default, however.
