What is TuxTime?

TuxTime is a battery power monitoring and management program for Toshiba computers running the GNU/Linux operating system. An advanced X11 Windows application, TuxTime gives you the ability to control your computer's battery power consumption and power on sequence through a series of customizable settings, to warn you when power has reached a level you define as low or critical, and to display a continuously updated window showing you the battery's current state in a variety of formats. You can display TuxTime as a window, as an icon, or in the title bar of whatever active window you have open. You can even check your TuxTime configurations by pressing the Fn key along with one of your computer's built-in hot keys. You can configure TuxTime to automatically power on your computer at a specified date and time or with a call to the computer's modem. Additionally, you can manually set the battery status whenever you know the value of a battery's current charge. With TuxTime, there is never any question about the current state, or performance, of your battery power.
