The unobtrusive Battery Life monitor

Bali is a lightweight program designed to alert you when your battery level goes down. Minimal Linux installations often lack a mechanism to alert the user when the system's battery level goes down. Yes, you can install a panel with a battery widget. But it can steal some of your screen real estate and creates one more guage for you to look on. Bali is designed to address this issue. It is designed to be as unobtrusive as possbile. It uses libnotify to present battery value as notifications only when required.
