SYNOPSIS

wmibam [options]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the wmibam command.

wmibam is a WindowMaker DockApp that monitors the apm status using the intelligent battery monitor (ibam) by Sebastian Ritterbusch <Sebastian@Ritterbusch.de>.

The upper half displays the remaining time you can stay on battery or the time left for charging the if you're working on battery or if you're plugged on your power supply unit. The bar below visualizes the percentage of battery charge. At the bottom that percentage is displayed numerically next to the current power state (on battery/charging/on psu).

You can turn the backlight on/off by clicking the first mouse button. If battery status is below a critical level, an alarm-mode will alert you by turning on and off back-light. This can be stopped (and restarted) by clicking the mouse button 3 (right) over the application. An application can be launched when alarm is on to notify user that level is too low. By clicking with mouse button 2 (middle), the computer can be put in STANDBY (default) or SUSPEND mode (with CONTROL key).
