Slightly smaller and faster:

#!/bin/bash

# Test if the computer is running on line power
# Exit status:
# - 0 (true)  System is on AC power
# - 1 (false) System is not on AC power
#
# NOTE: Absence of batteries is taken to mean that the system is on ac power.

# Check for AC/DC/etc adapters
for device in $(hal-find-by-capability --capability ac_adapter) ; do
        present=$(hal-get-property --udi $devices --key ac_adapter.present)
        [ "$present" == "true" ] && exit 0
done

#If there are no ac_adapters, check for batteries.
hal-find-by-capability --capability battery >/dev/null 2>&1 && exit 1

#If there are no batteries assume AC.
exit 0
