I followed you advice Ian to get the tones when switching between battery and AC. I also tried to play a sound when the battery enters a LOW state, but hw.acpi.battery.state remains in 1 (discharging) until the battery runs out of power. A notification is triggered in devd when the battery hits about 4%, but without a $notify I struggled to distinguish battery-related events. The solution I came up with is a bit of a hack, but it works (for now). I run a cronjob to check the remaining power and if it's at or below 5% play a warning.

Perhaps try logging the devd notifies as they happen, you may be able to use them if you distinguish using 0x80, which would beat needing to use a cronjob; devd is more or less instant. BIF is about all battery info used by eg acpiconf -i0, and may or may not duplicate the BST notifies, which should be all you need here. My comments are gratuitous, just suggestions. If you do calibrate the battery fairly regularly the remaining percent and remaining time may tally somewhat, but certainly keep an eye on critical discharge (5) as it should be definitive; I tend to err on the safer side. Maybe log more of your gathered vars on forced shutdown, to test assumptions? cheers, Ian ======= --- power 2013-07-07 22:34:34.000000000 +1000 +++ power.upd 2013-07-08 20:54:29.000000000 +1000 @@ -50,9 +50,9 @@ cur_bat_prcnt=`sysctl -n hw.acpi.battery.life` cur_bat_state=`sysctl -n hw.acpi.battery.state` log_cmd="/usr/bin/logger -t battery -p daemon.notice" - shutdown_cmd="/sbin/shutdown -p ${shutdown_wait}" shutdown_time=2 shutdown_wait=1 + shutdown_cmd="/sbin/shutdown -p ${shutdown_wait}" tone_low="mst200o2ola.l8bc.~a.~>l2d#" wall_cmd="/usr/bin/wall" @@ -60,10 +60,14 @@ bat_time=`sysctl -n hw.acpi.battery.time` echo ${tone_low} > ${speaker} $wall_cmd < Delivered-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:1900:2254:206a::19:1]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3B45A4F6 for ; Wed, 10 Jul 2013 19:54:40 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from msiebel@gmx.de) Received: from mout.gmx.net (mout.gmx.net [212.227.17.20]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B203A185D for ; Wed, 10 Jul 2013 19:54:39 +0000 (UTC) Received: from [192.168.2.102] ([84.134.238.198]) by mail.gmx.com (mrgmx001) with ESMTPSA (Nemesis) id 0M5uLh-1TzEsJ263N-00xoFQ for ; Wed, 10 Jul 2013 21:54:38 +0200 Message-ID: <51DDBC00.8000906@gmx.de> Date: Wed, 10 Jul 2013 21:54:40 +0200 From: Martin Siebel User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:17.0) Gecko/20130620 Thunderbird/17.0.7 MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Subject: FreeBSD on Asus F70SL Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Provags-ID: V03:K0:Jju4E7l7HiKq8+ZXRuR6bwG0fFRGqxetsy7pJJPE2imrnLpv76w n9YNz9MyJlKmzEgRa5eyHz8w/K71gomKY6DYO08sgDXQFXQ04AST0Q/LZI9/kiSYPIfH+St qo3YTAtjWQPUW8AGauOPFznkuEeazW5dqWikjjnLLpPIfwQsZMUKHA4jHfWhk5Sd8SiR2xd JSSko3gQPgv5535+PvTOg== X-BeenThere: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.14 Precedence: list List-Id: Mobile computing with FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 10 Jul 2013 19:54:40 -0000 Hello!

You can just put a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. If it has the 'shutdown' keyword it gets run with a 'stop' command during shutdown.

I downloaded the [FILE]FreeBSD-9.1-REALEASE-disc1.iso[/FILE] from the official FreeBSD homepage and burnt it with [I][COLOR="Blue"]Ashampoo Burning Studio 2013[/COLOR][/I]. Now, if I select "Boot from CD-ROM" in my notebooks BIOS it detects the CD, starts to boot from, it but only for about 1 second. After this the screen blackens, the notebook reboots and boots normally from HDD (even tough I still have the CD inserted and the CD-ROM drive is still the first boot device). This happens that fast I don't even have a chance to get a picture of the error that might occur. Any ideas about BIOS settings I may change? I burnt the CD twice by the way, with different burning software, to avoid damaged or incomplete disc. Thanks in advance!
