      Hi,

      I would like to schedule PowerD modes base on time, in other word, if i could use cron to change modes in PowerD.
      for an example, 8 Am "Adaptive" mode start, 6 Pm "Maximum" and 1 Am "Minimum" mode start.

      Does anyone did that or knows how can I archive that?

      Thanks in advance.
      Apologize for my English, I hope the above sentences make sense.

      Cheers

        I just leave mine at Adaptive and my 3.2ghz CPU is pretty much always at 300mhz any time I check it.

          I'm using Adaptive too, it works pretty stable. But I usually switch into minimum at midnight to save little more power. However, if I could do that in cron job that would be perfect.

          In Adaptive mode :
          Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 2.66GHz
          Current: 1329 MHz, Max: 2659 MHz
          2 CPUs: 1 package(s) x 2 core(s)
