Is there any point in establishing an init runlevel for "undocked"
operation - that is, using a laptop away from AC power? Some
laptops are capable of sensing when they go on and off of AC and
could change the run level on their own. I can think of situations

run-parts should probably not do what it normally does, when a laptop
doesn't have AC power. This could be implemented with something along
