The big question then is, which program should notice that we are already in low power mode and should it do that. Indeed. After thinking about this some I believe pm-powersave should be the one. It's impossible for power.sh to know whether or not the user executed pm-powersave himself at some point, making the whole status keeping, if done in power.sh, mood. That's why I re-assigned the bug to pm-utils.

It is up to the script to avoid doing unnecessary things that result in writing to the console. I think in this case, the script should detect that it is being called rapidly and decide what is best. E.g. if it hasn't been called in the last 5 seconds, perhaps try what it needs to do again. Or something similar.

Bug#635219: acpid: excessive power script invocation
Package: acpid Version: 1:2.0.10-1 Severity: normal Hello, When the battery of my laptop is almost empty, acpi_event keeps showing battery PNP0C0A:00 0080 0001 (about twice per second). The issue is that the power script gets invoked each time, resulting to a message on the console about stopping anacron (twice per second, thusly), and a write to /var/log/pm-powersave.log, thus on the disk, which does not help saving battery :) Shouldn't acpid somehow avoid calling the same script for the same event over and over?
