Configuring

Config files

Configuration files should be put in /etc/pm/config.d. See the pm-action(8) man page for more information.

Hooks

Short Descriptions

on_ac_power	is a script that determines whether the system is running on AC power (rather than a battery).
pm-hibernate	is a symlink to pm-action that puts the computer into hibernate mode (i.e., saves the contents of memory to disk and shuts down).
pm-is-supported	is a script that checks whether power management features such as suspend and hibernate are supported.
pm-powersave	is a script that puts the computer into powersaving (low power) mode.
pm-suspend	is a symlink to pm-action that puts the computer into suspend mode.
pm-suspend-hybrid	is a symlink to pm-action that puts the computer into suspend mode (like hibernate, but resumes more quickly).
pm-action	is a script that puts the computer into a sleep state (hibernate, suspend, or suspend-hybrid).
pm-pmu	is a program that puts computers which have a Macintosh PMU into suspend mode.
pm-reset-swap	is a program that marks a swap partition unusable for resuming from hibernate.
