Hmmm, this is all I have in /proc/acpi
~$ ls
button/ wakeup
/proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state
However,
~$ acpi -b
Battery 0: Discharging, 96%, 31:52:00 remaining
So, where is this information?
Is it in /sys ? If so, where?
Thanks,
Ranjan
See what can you get within
/sys/class/power_supply/...

Batti is a simple battery monitor for the system tray, similar to batterymon.
Unlike the latter batti uses *UPower*, and if that is missing DeviceKit.Power, for
it's power information.
