APPENDIX

Files in the Appendix should simply be copied to their corresponding system directories. Make sure that all files are readable, and additionally that all scripts are executable.

The scripts are made for dash (Debian Almquist shell), so they should be quite compatible.

WARNING: The scripts in the Power Management section below need more testing. They should be safe to try, but take a look at them prior to use.
