    I've recently upgraded to an ACPI-capable laptop, and it works great with
    FC3 for the most part.

    One feature I miss from APM is the ability to have the laptop
    automatically suspend itself when the battery power gets too low.

    I use KDE and know that the klaptop feature supports automatically
    suspending, but I'd like the laptop to sleep even if KDE happens not to be
    running (e.g. while it's sitting at the login screen). Also, klaptop's
    idea of suspend is to twiddle /sys/power/state directly, which bypasses
    the necessary unloading of modules that my own suspend script does.

    Is there a simple daemon that monitors the battery power level via ACPI,
    and can launch a script when it reaches a certain threshold?
