command line monitoring of battery


Hello all,

Since my machine seems to have some issues with acpi and pm-suspend, I have decided that I will just not use either of them. Now that I have turned acpi off in grub.conf I loose the ability to be able to tell how much power my battery has and also the ability to get an alert when my battery is about to go out.

I disabled acpi so that I can shut my lid without my machine suspending.

Is there a way that I can run a cron job to check the power on my battery and then send an alert when it gets to a certain point?

The only battery interface I'm aware of is ACPI. There might be some apm interface, but I'm not aware of one.
