/usr/sbin/lm-syslog-setup - configure laptop mode to switch syslog.conf based on power state

/usr/sbin/lm-syslog-setup

This manual page documents briefly the /usr/sbin/lm-syslog-setup command. /usr/sbin/lm-syslog-setup is a command that sets up the necessary things to enable laptop mode to switch between different syslog.conf files based on the power state. If your system runs syslogd, you can simply run this command and you will have three syslog.conf files, /etc/syslog-on-ac-with-lm.conf (used when AC power is present and laptop mode is enabled, i.e. LAPTOP_MODE_ALWAYS_ON=1 in laptop-mode.conf), /etc/syslog-on-ac-without-lm.conf (used when AC power is present and laptop mode is disabled) and /etc/syslog-on-battery.conf (used when AC power is not present). If your system does NOT run syslogd but some alternative logging daemon, you must modify /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf and specify the correct settings (configuration file name, executable name, etcetera) for your daemon. Please note that your daemon MUST support the SIGHUP signal to re-read its configuration files.
