Description:

Cpufreqd is meant to be a replacement of the speedstep applet you
can find on some other OS, it monitors battery level, AC state and
running programs and adjusts the frequency of the processor according to
a set of rules specified in the config file (see cpufreqd.conf (5)).

Cpufreqd 2 aims to become the next generation power management
daemon. It provides a common interface to enable system monitoring
and to take useful actions upon that.
Currently it is still centered on the CPUFreq kernel interface,
that means that running a CPUFreq capable kernel is still needed but
also that behaviour could be delegated to a plugin.

Note that the configuration file format is slightly incompatible
with the previous cpufreqd 1 but it's really easy to migrate (a
simple Perl script could do it, I'll try to prepare one soon).
