to make the battery last longer; if you have a
Toshiba Laptop, it can also adjust your LCD brightness;

settings until your battery reaches 100%: this will
make it recharge much faster;

the brightness of your lcd screen.

Just type 'wmpower' in a shell...
Type 'wmpower -h' to see all available options.
Obviously it needs a running X-Server to work.
