(Slightly OT) powertop - A neat little utility for saving power

[Chris Jones]

Hi All,

Sorry, this is a little OT. 

I thought would mention on this list a great little utility I stumbled over 
whilst surfing the Fedora test/devel lists. Its call powertop and at least on 
F7 is available via yum as

 > yum install powertop

I couldn't find any mention of it on this list, so thought I would post a 
heads up - sorry if I missed it !

run it (as root) and yoy get a neat little summary of what apps are waking up 
your cpu and offers suggestions on how to reduce it. Anyone wanting to save 
power, particular on laptops, should take a look at this !

The test list thread.
