SNOOZE(8) System Manager's Manual SNOOZE(8)

NAME

snooze,apmwill put an Apple Macintosh Powerbook into sleep.

SYNOPSIS

snooze [-hv] [-f] [-p port]

apm [-hv] [-f] [-p port]

DESCRIPTION

Snooze is a program, which is usefull only for Apple Macintosh Powerbooks. On invocation, it will request the machine to put itself into sleep. This is done by connecting to pmud and give pmud the command to put the machine to sleep. You can override the portnumber with the [-p port] option. If you invoke snooze with the [-f] option, then snooze will put the machine into sleep itself. This is NOT recommended, because you will not get the benefits of all the facilities that pmud has to offer. apm (/usr/bin/apm) is provided as a symbolic link to snooze for limited apmd compatibility to use by ia32 centric scripts from other packages.
