		+
		+	About the splitting tp_smapi vs. thinkpad/tpctl, no objection.
		+
		+	About splitting tp_smapi: currently most of that section doubles as both a spec and a HOWTO, which I think is a convenient and concise way to describe things (hey, it must be right, the Perl docs do it!). I'm not sure there's much benefit in duplicating that. Perhaps we should wait for a critical mass of additional lore to accumulate?

		+	Hei Thinker,
		+
		+	i just renamed the new page. Will adjust your links later on. Keeping the redirect page until that's done. Please set any new links you create to the new page (the pages of the individual UltraBay batteries should contain a pointer).
		+
		+	On a sidenote: I would like to split the SMAPI support under Linux page into a tp_smapi driver page, just listing the features, and a "How to use tp_smapi" page. I would also split the thinkpad/tpctl page off that again. Any objections?

	Indeed, it should be possible to automatise the "eject" command. I should also be noted that once a force_discharge1 is set, it will NOT unset automatically, event when the AC is plugged back in. An obvious fix is to fiddle with the appropriate ACPI event to force_discharge1 back to 0 for all batteries once the AC is attached.		Indeed, it should be possible to automatise the "eject" command.

		+	Thanks, this eliminates the last situation I imagined <tt>force_discharge2</tt> might work. The next tp_smapi version will remove <tt>force_discharge2</tt> and rename <tt>force_discharge1</tt> to <tt>force_discharge</tt>.

		+	If you write those ACPI scripts, it would be great if you put them on the Wiki.

 It's a T43 (2669). cat'ing force_discharge2 gives me an I/O error and I see

 I find these errors irrelevant from the user's point of view, though.
