In an effort to learn Python, I want to write and release an application for Linux...
A recent issue I've had is running a Linux server on a laptop, and wanting it to shut down automatically in the even of a power disruption.
The code works (but I will clean it up before release), however I still need a name for it...
The project will watch for any power disruptions (/proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state changes), and upon such an event happening it will wait one minute and check again, if the disruption is still occurring, it will shut down the laptop in question, and optionally alert the sys admin via email...
What would I name this project...
PS. While such an application may not be useful to anyone besides me, perhaps it will grow to become useful as time goes on.
edit: and yes, I already thought of "UselessApp.py"
