btw - If you want to test the interaction without waiting to run your batteries
all the way down you can do this (I tested this on SLED12 that has the new
upower)
jump onto battery and then see how much estimated time you have left. For this
lets say 2 hours (7200 seconds)
set the times to be slightly lower than your current time left
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power time-low 7000
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power time-critical 6800
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power time-action 6600
Just make sure after testing you remember to set these back to real values or
be ticked off when you queue up some stuff to look at, unplug and then watch in
horror as your system happily shuts down when it drops below these high values
a few minutes into the commute home :)
