Battery Low Monitor power battery level and trigger event when level drops below specified level.
  1. Take backup of critical data.
  2. Remind the user to plug in the laptop charger.
Window Closes Monitor opened windows for the specified title match. Event is triggered when specified title does not match any of the opened windows.
