X-BeenThere: freebsd-ports@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Porting software to FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 21 Jun 2007 11:39:06 -0000 Hi, has someone tried to port the Intel powertop tool (http://www.linuxpowertop.org/) to FreeBSD? If not, is someone willing to have a look at it, or should I put it on our ideas list? The tool monitors the power consumption of a system and shows which part of the system is the reason for not saving power (so it makes sense to run this on a mostly idle system to find the cause of wasting power; some applications are already fixed to be more power friendly).
