4. The Popup Menu

4.1 Standby

This puts your computer in to standby mode. When your computer is in standby mode it uses very little power, but it stops functioning. Input such as pressing a key will "wake up" your computer, making it usable again. If Kapm does have root privledges it will request the root password.

4.2 Suspend

This puts your computer in to suspend mode. This mode is similar to standby, and on some systems it does the same thing. If Kapm does not have root privledges it will request the root password.

4.3 Power Off

"Power Off" shuts down Linux and powers off your computer. If Kapm does not have root privledges it will request the root password.

4.4 APM Status

This brings up a small window containing information about your BIOS, the kernel driver, and the current APM status.

4.5 Options

This will show the options dialog. This dialog allows you to change Kapm's settings. See the Options Dialog section in this handbook.

4.6 Help

Selecting this will bring up the online help you are reading now.

4.7 About Kapm

This shows the about box, which contains the version of Kapm and credits.

4.8 Quit

This exits Kapm. Quitting will not interfere with power management.
