Re: [Powertop] Wishlist: print the commands executed by 'toggle tunables'

Dear All,

I wonder if I might make a request for a new feature for powertop.

When I run it, I can toggle various tunable options from within the 
Powertop interface. As I understand it, the effect of these to invoke an 
underlying system command such as:
   echo value > /sys/device/power/something

But powertop never actually tells me what these commands are. This means 
I can't easily append them to my own startup scripts, or make them 
persistent across reboots.

So my wish is as follows:

When powertop actually modifies the system, it should print the 
commands, to stderr, when it exits.

Thanks very much,

Richard



P.S. Powertop 2.0 also has no manpage. May I recommend help2man.
