I'm trying with

#!/bin/sh
while true
do
         cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/current_now >>/var/log/power.log
         sleep 1
done

but if running the script, qtmoko won't enter suspend

And I'm wondering, if suspended, it won't log anything, won't it?

Sorry if an obvious question, but how can I measure suspended current draw?

btw, I'm using latest gennady's u-boot, and it seems to still poweron gps...
