Powertweak daemon

NAME

powertweakd - Powertweak daemon

SYNOPSIS

powertweakd [--config-file file] [--no-daemon] [--no-info] [--profile-dir dir]

DESCRIPTION

The powertweakd daemon applies configuration tweaks to the system. It is primarily intended to be controlled using the powertweak or gpowertweak programs.

OPTIONS

-c, --config-file

Specify the file to read settings from.

--no-daemon

Run in the foreground rather than as a daemon.

--no-info

Do not use information-only tweaks.

-p, --profile-dir

Specify the directory in which profile information can be found

--version

Show the version of program then exit.

FILES

/etc/powertweak/tweaks

Default configuration file. When the set of currently active tweaks is saved they will be stored in this file. On startup powertweakd will parse this file (unless another is specified with the -c or --config-file options) and apply the tweaks defined to the system.

SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS

powertweakd can be used to make hardware and kernel level changes to your system configuration. These changes may adversely affect system performance and may lead to system crashes or data corruption. Due caution should therefore be exercised when using this program.
