Description
--------------------------------------------------------------
WMAPM monitors the APM statistics through the APM support in
the Linux and FreeBSD Kernels. This information, presented in
a nice visual format, can be invaluable on laptops (as I have
found in my recent/continual travels as a Field Engineer for a
small computer hardware manufacturer).
WMAPM compiles successfully on both 2.0.x and 2.1.1xx kernels
using libc5 and libc6 (glibc2), and on FreeBSD 3.x-RELEASE/
FreeBSD-3.x-STABLE.
WMAPM currently provides:
* Status of power supply (battery or AC);
* Percentage of battery remaining (numeric and meter);
* Battery charging status;
* Time left to battery depletion;
* High/Low/Critical battery status (Red/Yellow/Green);
