08. 電源管理 - PowerTOP

PowerTOP 是個分析、監控電力消秏的節能工具程式，它是由 Intel 於 2007 年以 GPLv2 授權釋出的開放原始碼專案。我們可以使用它找出 GNU/Linux 上秏電的套件，並透過停用不必要的功能以達到省電的效果，是筆記型電腦 (Laptop) 必裝的實用工具。

▲ PowerTOP 的起始畫面。

開始前請先安裝 powertop。

# Debian, Ubuntu
$ sudo aptitude install powertop

# CentOS, RHEL, Fedora
$ sudo yum install powertop

# Arch Linux
$ sudo pacman -S powertop

請使用 Tab, Shift + Tab 或方向鍵 ←, → 切換至 Tunables 分頁 ¹，並使用 ↑, ↓ 上下移動，於欲調校的項目按下 Enter 進行調校，當所有狀態顯示為 Good 後即可按下 q 離開。

▲ 調校前的 Tunables。

▲ 調校後的 Tunables。

PowerTOP 本身並無儲存功能，但我們可以藉由 powertop '--html' 產生的報告來調校系統，甚至於開機時載入這些設定。

$ sudo powertop --html
Loaded 58 prior measurements
Cannot load from file /var/cache/powertop/saved_parameters.powertop
Preparing to take measurements
Measuring 1 time(s) for 20 seconds each
PowerTOP outputing using base filename powertop-20130915-231821.html

▲ 此報告將依個人環境而有所不同，其各項目的詳細說明可參考 Power saving - ArchWiki 一文。

接著將調校的指令貼到一個 shell script 打包起來。

給予執行權限。

$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/powersave

因調校指令皆需管理者權限才可執行，若想省下打密碼的功夫可參考 Firestarter 開機甭再次輸入密碼 一文修改。

$ sudo visudo
......
jonny   ALL= NOPASSWD:/usr/local/bin/powersave

現在開機時只需使用 sudo powersave 即可手動切換至省電模式。

若想加入開機自動啟動可以參考 安裝 indicator-virtualbox on Ubuntu 12.04 | 4. 加入開機自動啟動 一文或使用較進階的 udev 及 sysctl。

※ 註：請依個人需求自行調整，若造成系統不穩還請自行斟酌。

¹. 感謝 theJian 回報，powertop v2.5 之後切換 Tunables 分頁的功能鍵已從方向鍵 ←, → 改為 Tab 和 Shift + Tab。 ↩
