OS/2, eCS & ArcaOS - Technical > Utilities
Battery charge
Holger Schuett:
Hi Martin,
yes that is what I meant. I know this feature from Windows myself and as mentioned from Linux Mint.
As the setting do not change when booting ArcaOs I was just wondering if there would be a possibility to have something similar for os2/arcaOs.
Cheers
Holger

ACPI is a requirement ("Makes ACPI calls using the acpi_call kernel module, which is REQUIRED"). So is modern hardware. ArcaOS: maybe.

Most probably the answer is - no. Never heard of such utility. We still have problems even reading basic system health information (temperature, fan speed, ...) so I think there is very little chance someone did such sophisticated things for current Notebooks. Last time we had similar support on OS/2 (changing bios settings from the OS) was in the Thinkpad 365X/760 days IIRC.

If you have the source code for a battery program, you can modify it to use ACPI under OS/2. The developer's toolkit for ACPI is available here:

I understand that if you are contemplating analyzing pc temperatures, it is because of the problem that some lucky like me, we have a laptop that goes off alone.
I in my case have come to the conclusion, that this problem is not because of the temperature.
With the ecs22b2 had to wait after turning off 20 minutes, and with arcaos only 10 minutes. Before turning it on again. It is an improvement but not enough.
The fact is that if I leave those 10 minutes off, before restarting it I can have it on without problems indefinitely.
But if I click on RestartDesktop ..., in 90% of cases, before 5 minutes the laptop goes off.
The question is why?
