 Perhaps something like...

 h
 
 (I'm tired of worrying about email and GNATS mangling patches, so I
 put it there.)
 
 The first check being perhaps redundant, but gives a more user-friendly
 sort of message. The second check since the zzz(8) man page gets
 installed everywhere right now (presumably we don't want/need a separate
 one for this script, heh).
 
 Now, in PR bin/60049, uwe@ also mentions 'To go from "cannot" to "can"
 all you need is to write a driver (a loadable kernel module) that talks
 rather simple apm(4) ioctls.' Not sure if that's preferable here.
