CentOS - Mar 2017 - Laptop turns off after lid closed Centos6

Folks

I have a laptop which i am using temporarily as a test server.  It is 
permanently plugged in.  It is running Centos 6, command line 
only.  In the past, I could close the lid, thereby turning off the 
display, but not turning off the machine.  It remained running indefinitely.

A recent update (this past week) changed that behavior.  Now, when I 
close the lid, the laptop turns itself off within an hour.

A google search talks about tools like "upower" and apcitool, but a 
"yum search" does not locate them.

Is there a way to revert back to the previous behavior?

Thanks

David

Sure that no X11/Gnome stuff got onto the system?

Yes, lots of stuff just in case I want to run a GUI for giggles.  The 
gnome stuff was present even with the earlier behavior.  Is there 
some setting I can adjust?

a laptop makes a nice 24/7/365 server.

using 'extend battery pack' or 'oem' pack?

you need a battery manager/monitor program to set up lid switch.

or use a 'script' to switch.

any settings in bios config?

yum knows where to 'look for what' in directory /etc/yum.repos.d

have a look at:   http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/

get a battery manager, do not 'roll back'.

questions::
  make/model?
  oem manual?
