battery_monitor is a small battery monitoring program for Linux, that you can run in the background from your desktop session or launch from the boot scripts. battery_monitor is designed with simple goals in mind and provides acoustic and/or visual alerts when your battery level is low or when it is fully charged, so you can take apropiate actions.
Compilation and installation
To compile and install battery_monitor you need several components installed on your computer:
C compiler (probably GCC) and the standard C libraries and headers.
POSIX threads libraries and headers (pthread.h).
X11 libraries and headers.
xine libraries and headers.
make tool.
To compile the program, once you have installed everything needed, run make from the source code directory. To install it, run make install after compilation. This last step may require superuser privileges depending on the selected installation directory. The following parameters may be useful while compiling and installing:
CC: It lets you specify the C compiler name instead of gcc.
CFLAGS: You can use it to change the optimization level and/or specify additional header directories by using extra -I arguments.
LDFLAGS: In case the compiler cant find some of the required libraries, use this parameter to pass additional -L arguments in the link step.
PREFIX: The default prefix is /usr/local. If you change this parameter you should change it in both the compilation and the installation step. Its only used in the installation step for now, but this may change.
DESTDIR: Useful for package maintainers, this lets you specify a fake root directory in the installation step.
Compilation and installation parameters are appended to the make command in variable assignment form. For example: make install PREFIX=/usr DESTDIR=/tmp/fake_rootdir.
Enhancements:
- Several bugs have been corrected.
- They surfaced with recent releases of the Xorg X server, and made the program behave incorrectly when displaying signs.
- The underlying sign code has been rewritten, and the program is now lighter on resources as a collateral effect. In addition, CMake support has been added to the build system.

T28 library is a simple library that allows interaction with a Ericsson T28 phone (and probably works with other models as well). T28 library does not have SMS support.
Main features:
- load/save phonebook
- set language
- set audio mode selection
- get battery properties (level, temperature, etc)works only on T28
- get signal level
- send keys to mobile device
- set date/time
Enhancements:
- Lots of documentation was added.
- The code was cleaned up and tested with other SE models.
- Minor bugs were fixed.

eTcl is a "batteries-included", thread-enabled Tcl/Tk runtime, available as a single standalone executable. eTcl includes several popular extensions (Sqlite, Thread, Zlib, ...), together with a Tcl wrapper for the Pixane image processing library.
Installation:
Just copy executable wherever you want on your device (memory or storage card), and launch it.
- Unobstrusive executable. No registry to set, no external dependencies.
- Standalone executable. Tcl and Tk scripts packed into executable (using VFS). Optimized startup time.
New Tcl user experience on PocketPC
- Optimized for XScale devices
- Faster Arc/Chord/Pie emulation, improved for ARM architecture without FPU
- Efficient WSAAsyncSelect() emulation. Sockets, and fileevents on sockets, should be fully functionnal (in both client and server modes)
- Support for native menu
- Improved native look and feel.
- Windows Mobile specific extension: manage SIP, change (X) button action (closing Correct handling of mouse (actually touchscreen) events
- Support for intercepting hotkeys (calendar, notes, etc...)
- New porting approach, based on very minor changes to generic Win32 port (and no changes to generic part of Tcl/Tk distrib).
- Patch to Tcl or Tk distribution is only few kilobytes large, everything else has been moved into a minimal emulation library. This should allow us to keep synced with future Tcl/Tk release.
- Easy build process. Nothing but Evc4 and a native Tcl interpreter required to build binaries for all target architectures supported by Evc (Cygwin, external libraries, etc... not required)
- Works fine into Microsoft Pocket PC 2003 Emulator. Debugging code made easier
Included native extensions:
- Pixane: script your image transformation, support for reading and writing several popular image formats (PNG, JPEG), support for TrueType fonts
- Sqlite 3: a self-contained, embeddable, zero-configuration SQL database engine
- Zlib: native deflate/inflate support
- Zipfs: easily Mount your ZIP files into Tcl Virtual Filesystem
Included Pure Tcl extensions:
- EvoTcl: A very large set of tcl utilities (OOP, Database, HTML/XML parsing, ...). See http://www.evolane.com/software/evotcl/
Enhancements:
- This release focuses on performance optimization (especially for WinCE) and code stabilization.
- It adds support for reading tclkits, together with an automatic tclkit to eTcl kit converter.
- It embeds up-to-date versions of several built-in packages, such as sqlite 3.4.1, libpng 1.2.18, and tile and tkhtml3 CVS snapshots.
- Tile has been moved into the normal version.
- The Mac OS X bundle declares associations so eTcl kits can be launched directly from the Finder.
- Binaries for linux-powerpc have been made compatible with Linux on Playstation 3.

Mint is a small X toolbar that can switch network configurations in a few keystrokes. Mint enables you to change your network configurations in a few keystrokes. It supports DHCP and static addresses, and can execute an authentication script when it changes the configuration. It also displays a clock and a battery meter.
mint displays the name of current network configuration. It also displays a clock and a battery meter. The battery meter shows the percentage of remaining battery life and appends a `+ to the battery life when AC power is connected.
Since it changes network configuration, mint must be run setuid root. It safely invokes the authentication script as the user who started mint, not root.
mint provides a network configuration called "off" to shutdown the network interface. mint displays "?" if it does not recognize the current network configuration. It displays "xx" if the network interface does not exist.
The authentication script is run in the background. When you switch network configuration, mint kills any previously running authentication script. For DHCP configurations, mint does does not run the authentication script if the DHCP request fails.
DHCP support is made by the "dhcpcd" command, which mint expects to find in /sbin. dhcpcd should have come with your Linux distribution; if not you can get it from http://www.phystech.com/download/dhcpcd.html.
Enhancements:
- The beta version of Bianca was released and is available for download. Bianca comes with two brand new themes: Bianca-Blue and Bianca-Green which give the distribution a whole new minty look. Only one panel at the bottom, a Slab-like menu, new default icons. The following applications were added to Bianca: mintMenu, a replacement for the GNOME menu; mintConfig, a Control Center application; mintDisk, a program which automatically mounts FAT32 and NTFS partitions; mintDesktop, which now comes as a package, has a graphical configuration front-end; mintWifi, which now comes as a package.

WMChargemon project is a simple WindowMaker dockapp that shows, in a clear way, the battery level and the power status of your ACPI-driven laptop.

Low and critical battery levels (on which the applet changes its color) can be set.

It is a really simple dockapp, which shows the percent battery level and the current power state (battery or AC) in a clear and simple way. The background of the dockapp turns green, yellow or red on behalf of the battery level (respectively safe, low or critical).

There is no rc file, and the behaviour of this program can be configured by some command line options, which will be well explained on your terminal when you issue this command (obviously, without the dollar sign):

$ wmchargemon -h

Installation:

1) Ensure youve got the libdockapp development library (at least version 0.6.1) correctly installed.

2) Simply type:

make

and, from a root shell

make install
