+<para>These two modules work together to control what happens when a
+predetermined low battery condition occurs. There are two of them, so you can
+set a warning for when time is getting close, and something more desperate for
+the last minute save or suspend.</para>

+<para><emphasis>Low trigger</emphasis></para>
+
+<para>This field specifies at which point the battery low state is detected - it
+is the number of minutes left (according to APM) in your batteries. When this
+number is crossed the low state is triggered and one or more of the following
+things will occur</para>

+<variablelist>
+<varlistentry>
+<term><guilabel>Run Command</guilabel></term>
+<listitem><para>This is a shell command that will be executed when the battery
+low is detected. By default, this is turned off.</para></listitem>

+<term><guilabel>Play Sound</guilabel></term>

+<listitem><para>Enabling this will cause the battery monitor to beep whenever
+the battery level drops below the preset value. This is probably the least
