Re: Control apm

Hi all; just joined the list, catching up to archived articles.

My solution to controlling apm was to add some kernel ioctls to
the apm driver.  These let you enable/disable apm, set the
resume timer, and so on.  I also wrote some command-line
programs that use the new ioctls:  apm_enable, apm_disable, etc.

Now I see that most of my work was probably redundant.  Still if
anybody would like to take a look, maybe integrate some of my new
ioctls into the kernel, it's at:

I wrote this to burn CDR's.  My shell script to burn CD's looks like
this:

	apm_disable
	cdrdao options...
	tplay tada.wav
	apm_enable

Works like a champ.
