apm and gnome

["Paul R. Brandariz" <brandari lore kla-tencor com>]

Hi there gnome users:

    I
    In the control-center there is a way to start the screen saver as
well as to control
the monitor and tell the system to use the Power Management system to
turn off the
monitor after the screeen saver is started.

    Is there a way to invoke  "apm -s" to  bring a system to standby
after the monitor is
shut down ? Naturally, this has to somehow be done as root (which could
be an issue since there is no one to suppply a password).
Unfortunatelly, I can't  manually invoke apm -s since this would then
disable the screen saver startup as well as the Power management of the
monitor.


Is there a document  which explains how to do this. ?  Is this the
correct forum to bring this
up ?

I am using Helix gnome on RH 6.2.

Thanks...
