That is exactly what I want to verify on the command line. I don't
want to drain the laptop battery and hope for gnome-power-manager
(just as an example), but to send the appropriate message to upowerd.

I understand that there are some 160+ chars dbus-send command lines
for this, but this is pretty inconvenient. upower could do this.
It already talks with upowerd. This might be just a small extension.

Of course I would like to have this power management, policykit and
consolekit stuff working independent from somebody running a blessed
GUI, but this is OT here.
