Written by dhart the 3 Jul 08 at 03:02. Category: System.
Related to: Gnome. Status: New
Description
at System > Preferences > Power Management

on tabs "On AC Power" and "On Battery Power"

add on option to "Run Application" when laptop lid is closed (and when it's opened).

For example, I'd like to send a STOP signal to Firefox when the laptop lid is closed, to reduce power use, then send a CONT signal when the lid is opened, all while keeping SSH and chat sessions alive and active.
