Folks

I have a laptop which i am using temporarily as a test server.  It is 
permanently plugged in.  It is running Centos 6, command line 
only.  In the past, I could close the lid, thereby turning off the 
display, but not turning off the machine.  It remained running indefinitely.

A recent update (this past week) changed that behavior.  Now, when I 
close the lid, the laptop turns itself off within an hour.

A google search talks about tools like "upower" and apcitool, but a 
"yum search" does not locate them.

Is there a way to revert back to the previous behavior?

Thanks

David
