From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040612 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: I have an idea, when laptop is battery powered the cron daily tasks should be started after user confirmation. User should have choice not to run this power consiming processes unless his laptop is plugged to AC outlet. I imagine such requester: Your machine is battery powered now. Do you allow to run cron daily power consuming tasks (prelink, slocatedb, rpmdb) now? Yes: Run it now! No: run it later No: run it when AC powered Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): any How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1.:) 2. 3. Actual Results: prelink eat about 20% of my battery Expected Results: opposite to actual Additional info:
Well, that is a request for laptop aware anacron and/or cron, I don't see this as something prelink or updatedb or other cron tasks should be handling. Well, it cron/anacron has some flag how to say this job takes a long time, that could be set, sure. BTW, prelink in rawhide should eat less CPU and be faster, in -q mode.

Is it possible to reopen this? It links to a duplicate-marked bug which links to another duplicate which is #190268 which doesn't appear to be clearly related, and also is resolved while this issue appears to be clearly not: I'm on F15 and it happily runs prelink right now although I'm just on battery which is quite odd. Or is this feature actually supposed to be already implemented and working and is it just bugging for me now?
