WMTUXTIME(1) Toshiba Linux Utilities WMTUXTIME(1)NAMEwmtuxtime - view battery status and set power saving options on a
Toshiba laptop
SYNOPSISwmtuxtime [ -cnhv ]
DESCRIPTION
wmTuxTime is a small WindowMaker/Enlightment/AfterStep dockable applet
for displaying the battery status and setting the power saving options
on Toshiba laptops.
As well as monitoring the main battery you can also view the status of
any addtional battery installed in the SelectBay. There are also user
configurable battery alarms to warn of low power.
The main window contains a digital time remaining display, a bar graph
showing the remaining battery percentage, a digital percent remaining
display and an icon to indicate the power source. When running on the
battery the time remaining display indicates the estimated time till
the battery is flat in hours and minutes. When connected to the mains
and the battery is charging the red C in the corner comes on and the
time is an estimate of the time till the battery reaches full charge.
When fully charged and on the mains it indicates the estimated battery
life if you where to switch to batteries.
The battery bar graph changes from green to yellow on reaching the low
battery status, and red on reaching the critical battery status. When a
battery is installed.
The functions of the four buttons along the botton of the applet in

tery and combined total if a battery is installed in the Select‐
