SYNOPSIS
wmibam [options]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the wmibam command.
wmibam is a WindowMaker DockApp that monitors the apm status using the
intelligent battery monitor (ibam) by Sebastian Ritterbusch
<Sebastian@Ritterbusch.de>.
The upper half displays the remaining time you can stay on battery or
the time left for charging the if you’re working on battery or if
you’re plugged on your power supply unit. The bar below visualizes the
percentage of battery charge. At the bottom that percentage is
displayed numerically next to the current power state (on
battery/charging/on psu).
You can turn the backlight on/off by clicking the first mouse button.
If battery status is below a critical level, an alarm-mode will alert
you by turning on and off back-light. This can be stopped (and
restarted) by clicking the mouse button 3 (right) over the application.
An application can be launched when alarm is on to notify user that
level is too low. By clicking with mouse button 2 (middle), the
computer can be put in STANDBY (default) or SUSPEND mode (with CONTROL
key).
