This is your april fool's joke, right?

save session when exit awesome

usually I will let my notebook running when i go to sleep because I has some work on it . 
I notice that maybe awesome can save every Apps's session like position ect when exit awesome .
If this is possible, tell me how .

beside . How to let awesome go to save power ( battery ) mode ?

It doesn't depend on awesome. If you want your notebook to suspend, add 
an entry to your menu or something like this. I bound the sleep funktion 
to mod-ctrl-q.

Code:

awful.key({modkey, "Control" }, "q", function () 
awful.util.spawn('dbus-send --system --print-reply 
--dest=org.freedesktop.Hal /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer 
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.Suspend int32:0') end)

have a look here 
http://debianforum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=127602&hilit=hal#p818468 (german 
forum) for other examples.

Another way is to spawn pm-suspend or s2ram.

On Ubuntu, I know the command

     sudo pm-hibernate

It stores the current RAM to your disk during the shutdown and reloads 
it into RAM when booting again, which I'd guess would basically be what 
you want.

I bet, there's a command for switching to battery mode for linux, too.

There's a way to add this to your awesome-menu or define a Shortcut for 
this. See the documentary or read 
https://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/My_first_awesome for more details!

I knew there was a reason to use dbus: it runs as an unprivileged user ;)

I added the following to /etc/sudoers:

sib ALL =(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pm-suspend

where sib is my username. It's not perfectly elegant, but it certainly
works. I use acpi to send sudo pm-suspend when the lid is closed.
