You can set it to shut down when the battery gets low as well. Mine is set to hibernate, but I wish I could configure what it considers "low." You see, by the time it's halfway done hibernating, it just completely turns off. Hibernate *should* store everything and not need battery for when you run out, except it takes so long to take effect that it's totally useless. If hibernation takes 30 seconds to complete, why is it only kicked in 10 seconds before power off? I always have to fsck after an emergency-hibernate anyway then, and that's not how it should work. -- Mackenzie Morgan http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com apt-get moo
