.Sh NAME
.Nm apmd
.Nd Advanced Power Management monitor daemon
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl d
.Op Fl s
.Op Fl a
.Op Fl q
.Op Fl t Ar seconds
.Op Fl S Ar sockname
.Op Fl f Ar devname
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
monitors the advanced power management (APM) pseudo-device, acting on
signaled events and upon user requests as sent by the
.Xr apm 8 
program.
For suspend and standby request events delivered by the BIOS, or via
.Xr apm 8 ,
.Nm
runs the appropriate configuration program (if one exists),
syncs the buffer cache to disk and initiates the requested mode.
When resuming after suspend or standby,
.Nm
runs the appropriate configuration program (if one exists).
For power status change events,
.Nm
fetches the current status and reports it via
.Xr syslog 3 
with logging facility
.Dv LOG_DAEMON .
.Pp
.Nm
announces the transition to standby mode with a single high tone on the
speaker (using the
.Pa /dev/speaker
device).
Suspends are announced with two high tones.
.Pp
.Nm
periodically polls the APM driver for the current power state.  
If the battery charge level changes substantially or the external power
status changes, the new status is logged.  The polling rate defaults to
once per 10 minutes, but may be specified using the
.Fl t
command-line flag.
.Pp
If the
.Fl s
flag is specified, the current battery statistics are reported via
.Xr syslog 3
and
.Nm
exits without monitoring the APM status.
.Pp
If the
.Fl a
flag is specified, any BIOS-initiated suspend or standby requests are
ignored if the system is connected to line current and not running from
batteries (user requests are still honored).
.Pp
If the
.Fl d
flag is specified,
.Nm
enters debug mode, logging to facility
.Dv LOG_LOCAL1
and staying in the foreground on the controlling terminal.
.Pp
If the
.Fl q
flag is specified,
.Nm
does not announce suspend and standby requests on the speaker.
.Pp
When a client requests a suspend or stand-by mode,
.Nm
does not wait for positive confirmation that the requested
mode has been entered before replying to the client; to do so would mean
the client does not get a reply until the system resumes from its sleep state.
Rather,
.Nm
replies with the intended state to the client and then places the system
in the requested mode after running the configuration script and
flushing the buffer cache.
.Pp
Actions can be configured for the three transitions:
.Cm suspend ,
.Cm standby
and
.Cm resume .
The suspend and standby actions are run prior to
.Nm
performing any other actions (such as disk syncs) and entering the new
mode.  The resume program is run after resuming from a stand-by or
suspended state.
.Sh FILES
.Pa /etc/apm/suspend ,
.Pa /etc/apm/standby
and
.Pa /etc/apm/resume
are the files that contain the host's customized actions.
Each file must be an executable binary or shell script suitable
for execution by the
.Xr execve 2 
function.
If you wish to have the same program or script control all transitions, it
may determine which transition is in progress by examining its 
.Va argv[0]
which is set to one of
.Ar suspend ,
.Ar standby ,
or
.Ar resume .
.Pp
.Pa /var/run/apmdev
is the default UNIX-domain socket used for communication with
.Xr apm 8 .
The
.Fl S
flag may be used to specify an alternate socket name.
The socket is protected to mode 0660, UID 0, GID 0; this protects access
to suspend requests to authorized users only.
.Pp
.Pa /dev/apmctl
is the default device used to control the APM kernel driver.
The
.Fl f
flag may be used to specify an alternate device file name.
