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