batmon's Introduction

Monitor laptop battery state

Batmon is a daemon that monitors the state of laptop batteries.
I have written this because most available tools can't handle multiple batteries.

Also this does not have a GUI, so is pefect for tiling WMs.

It does two things

Calculate the battery life over all available batteries and make it available via a state file (I use it for i3blocks/i3bar).

Hibernate/suspend the machine when estimated battery life falls under a limit.

Why another app

Both things need an accumulated time calculated for both batteries. Most tools calculate battery life separate for each battery, this is bullshit and not useful.

The other thing is, I don't want fancy apps with GUI and tray icon. I want a background daemon that can handle the low battery action and share the estimated battery life with apps like i3bar/i3blocks.

Notes

Currently, I use a polkit rule to get permission to suspend or hibernate. This is bad and should work with group permissions or something else...

Do not mistake this with http://www.nongnu.org/gap/batmon/index.html. These are different projects with different purpose.

batmon's Issues

Fix DBUS logind permissions

Currently, permissions are granted to all via polkit rule.
Fix this, maybe via group permissions or something else.

Daemon should run as nobody, and it does not run under systemd-logind.
