Hmm,

using the clock to wake me up in the morning would be an option to check the
battery.

It even wakes up, or boots, if I have shut down the phone :-)

If the clock is not at a really alarm time (to wake me up :-),
it could configure the next wakeup to check the battery.

Is that a solution if PMU doesn't support us with another solution ?

Doesnt it already do that - I know that in the middle of the night I
used to get regularly awakened by a "shfffft" sound from the Fr as the
battery ran out - oh wait, you mean before ...

:)

Its actually a good idea - I use a couple of perl scripts to flash the
leds in various colours/rates to indicate charge. Doesnt help when shut
down though.  Perhaps a cron job to wake every hour and check the
charge, then go back to sleep?  Does cron work on the FR these days?

while true; do
 if [ `capacity` -lt 10 ]; then

 sleep 120
done

Is there also a way when the device is in suspend mode, to wakeup and
do this warning ?

I'm guessing yes but I do not know the PMU stuff well.
