On Macintosh, you could use MarcoPolo or a similar context-switching tool that detects power state changes and activates or deactivates execution appropriately.

On Linux, you need something -- a daemon or cron job -- that regularly polls "acpi -a" (or /sys/power/) and acts accordingly.  *BSD is probably similar.

No idea how to do it with Windows.
