There is no further indication in ${HOME}/.xsession-errors file;

I configured now the notifications in System Settings -- Notifications
for the events Battery Low / Battery Critical and launch the attached
script with argument 'low' or 'critical'.

This does its job now. Thanks


#!/bin/sh
#
# will be run when battery reaches critical level
# note: the user must be in group 'operator'

test .$1 = .low &&  {
   printf "battery reached level 'low' (10%%), shutdown at level 5%%\n" | wall
   }

test .$1 = .critical &&  {
   printf "battery reached level 'critical' (5%%), shutdown in 30 secs !!!\n" | wall
   /sbin/shutdown -p +30s
   }

La referencia de la Duma a la anexión de la RDA, en este caso al contrario con la Crimlía sin
referéndum, no solamente tiene gracia sino da en el blanco.-
