✨ LM-SYSLOG-SETUP(8) ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because we're reading the lm-syslog-setup man page from the System Manager's Manual, section 8 💅

💖 NAME 💖

/usr/sbin/lm-syslog-setup — the lil command that used to configure laptop mode tools so they'd switch your syslog.conf around based on power state 🔌🔋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

/usr/sbin/lm-syslog-setup

that's it. no flags, no args, no drama. just the path. periodt. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this page is just here to document /usr/sbin/lm-syslog-setup briefly, no cap. here's the tea 🍵

lm-syslog-setup was a command that set up all the necessary things to enable laptop mode to switch between different configuration files based on the power state. iconic behaviour, honestly. 👑

but 💀 this feature and this command have been deprecated. lowkey tragic but it's giving growth.

it's been deprecated in favor of the configuration-file-control module, which is configured in the /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/configuration-file-control.conf configuration file. and the best part? this new module does not require any manual setup. not me being obsessed with a module that just works 🙈✨

existing configurations that use the old feature are still supported, so if you already had it set up, you're fine, no stress 🫶

however — and this is the important part, fr fr — new usages of the old feature are not allowed, and lm-syslog-setup has been disabled accordingly. so don't come trying to spin up new ones, bestie, the door is closed. 🚪💀
