Bug Description
gm-notify.py v0.10.2 generates 10 wake ups a second with or without internet access available. This contributes to draining my laptop's battery. I now have to kill it when going to battery mode and restart on switching to a/c. It would be nice:
1. To reduce wakeups altogether
2. Detect that no route is available and enter into power-saving mode, since internet access is not always on.
Top causes for wakeups:
29.2% ( 43.9) [iwlagn] <interrupt>
26.3% ( 39.6) [kernel scheduler] Load balancing tick
10.8% ( 16.3) [extra timer interrupt]
9.8% ( 14.8) [HDA Intel] <interrupt>
0.2% ( 0.3)D indicator-apple
6.6% ( 9.9) gm-notify.py
