Bug Description

Binary package hint: powernap

Installed powernap and the service isn't running by default after installation.

Powernap should have a sane default configuration, and start immediately after installation.

HI Dustin,

By default powernapd should be running but monitoring "/sbin/init" using the new ProcessMonitor.

This error might be because the new config file uses config parser instead of being a python executable file.

Or by this you mean that we should enable some monitors by default?

Re-tested.

Completely clean natty install, powernap not installed. sudo apt-get
install powernap. status powernap says not running. ps -ef | grep
powernapd shows that powernapd is not running. Edited
/etc/powernap/config and sudo start powernap, and then it's running.

Sorry, my fault. I had a small error in config and powernapd died silently when started. Ignore my comment.
