Openbox does not load power management by default - you must load it, or configure it to load.

There are various options you may have available, depending on your distribution, for example you may have pm-utils (?)

gnome-power-manager

If you have GNOME installed on the same installation of Linux that you are using with Openbox, you can run gnome-power-manager - simply type or paste at the command prompt:

gnome-power-manager

However, this appears not to suspend on low battery, and as there is no panel, there is no obvious way to check the battery level or adjust settings. (How can we do this?)
