# On Ac Power State Change
This is a simple script that will run any command you choose, whenever your power state changes (ie: When your laptop power is unplugged or plugged back in). Should run correctly under any user.
## Requirements
* Bash, obviously
* "logger" should be installed, so this tool can add system logs
* "acpi" should be installed, so this tool can detect power state changes
* (only tested with version 1.7)
## Usage
Usage is pretty simple. Just pass your custom command as arguments, like so:
```
$ on-ac-power-state-change echo "Yay this works!"
```
At that point, you should see the message "Yay this works!" appear in the console whenever your power state changes. This is commonly when a laptop's power cable has been unplugged, or plugged back in.
## Cautions
Because this tool will execute **any** command you provide, it might not be very safe to run as root or an important account unless you know what you're doing.
