And call them from a flexible set of places. How would
you hook up a shell script to PowerTOP without it?

How would you write a shell script to wake up the
system before running?

Why not?  Why would I want to reduce the chances that
I can help someone with basic administration tasks on
a random Linux system?  If somebody posts about not
being able to ssh in, now I can ask for the output of
"systemctl status sshd" even if they're running some
distribution I don't know (and I only really know
Fedora, Debian, and enough CentOS to install EPEL and
pretend it's Fedora.)

(Are there fewer and fewer active Linux distributions
these days?  Active as in they do security updates for
base packages in a less-than-scary amount of time?)
