18 Programs/Tools interacting with the Powersave Daemon

Currently I know of four clients that make use of or are based on the powersave daemon functionalities:

• KPowersave
  
  • The graphical KDE front-end to powersave.
  • Works reliable and stable and got extensive testing.
  • Perfect for end-users.
  It supports switching between schemes, triggering suspend, shows the current battery level and warns if the battery runs low. It also offers configuration of X-based power functions such as DPMS and screensaver and some more.
  

  KPowersave is currently maintained by Danny Kukawka (danny.kukawka@web.de)

• WMpowersave
  A WindowMaker applet that provides basic functionality such as displaying and switching schemes, cpufreq policy and issuing suspend requests.

  The WMpowersave client is currently maintained by Holger Macht, (holger@homac.de).

• YaST2 Powermanagement Module
  Provides configuration of most of the variables in /etc/powersave/ graphically.

  Only on SUSE right now.

• GKrellm Plugin
  A small hack from Stefan Seyfried designed to replace gkrellm's builtin battery monitor and set / display the cpufreq policy. Can also set the brightness on supported machines. Get the latest snapshot from http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/svn/svnpage.php/powersave/

KPowersave, WMpowersave and gkrellm-powersave are hosted on the powersave project pages at http://sourceforge.net/projects/powersave and http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/project/?powersave
