Under "Notification Area" there are a number of choices. I have "Always display an icon" and if the battery gets low, a bubble appears under the battery icon telling me it's low (also a big bubble if I unplug the charger, etc). If you don't already have the battery icon, then run "gnome-power-preferences". As to a "wall"-type message, there is nothing I know of but you could write a quick cron program that checks the various variables in /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state and does a "wall" if any of them get low. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, C2 Hosting ricks@xxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - You know you've landed gear-up when it takes full power to taxi. - - -- Chuck Yeager - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
