sleepd is a daemon to to put a laptop to sleep if it is not being used or if the battery is low.

It supports HAL, APM, and ACPI, although external programs must be used to actually put the system to sleep.

There is a Debian sleepd package, or you can download it from git (git://git.joeyh.name/sleepd).

I am not longer maintaining sleepd.
