IMHO the best solution is to configure acpid to shutdown the machine
if battery falls to critical discharge level. My acpi script
does it; use it if you like (note that the work is not completely
done, but at least you may inspire yourself).

Also note that the script may inform you about AC adapter (dis)connect
events via callback; the scripts tries to call each logged user
notify script ~/.acpi/bin/notify
Via this script, you may e.g. do a beep or whatever to make yourself
notified about the event.

Copy the "all" events mapping file to /etc/acpi/events/
and the action.sh script to /etc/acpi/

and re-start acpid. And, for starters put something like

#!/bin/sh
DATE=`date`
echo "$DATE: $*" >> $HOME/.acpi/notify.log

to your $HOME/.acpi/bin/notify, make it executable
and watch the result by

tail -f $HOME/.acpi/notify.log

...

Have fun.

I intend to make the notify script to send the event to a daemon
which would display an OSD message on X screen (as I've written before).
More will come the next year... :-)

vencik
