NAME

pmconfig - Configure the Power Management system

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/pmconfig [-r]

DESCRIPTION

The pmconfig utility sets the Power Management and suspend-resume
configuration. User has permission to change Power Management
configuration using pmconfig only if he is allowed to do so according
to PMCHANGEPERM keyword of /etc/default/power. User has permission to
change the suspend-resume configuration using pmconfig only if he is
allowed to do so according to the CPRCHANGEPERM keyword of
/etc/default/power. See FILES section below for a description of the
PMCHANGEPERM and CPRCHANGEPERM keywords of /etc/default/power.


Based on user permissions, pmconfig first resets the Power Management
and/or suspend-resume state back to its default and then reads the
new Power Management and/or suspend-resume configuration from
/etc/power.conf and issues the commands to activate the new
configuration. The pmconfig utility is run at system boot. This
utility can also be run from the command line after manual changes
have been made to the /etc/power.conf file. For changes made to the
/etc/power.conf file to take effect, users must run pmconfig.

Using Power Management

NOTES

The pmconfig service is managed by the service management facility,
smf(7), under the service identifier:

svc:/system/power:default


Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling,
or requesting restart, can be performed using svcadm(8). The
service's status can be queried using the svcs(1) command.

DIAGNOSTICS

If the program cannot open the configuration file, it prints an error
message to standard error. If the program encounters a syntax error
in the configuration file, it prints an error message and the line
number of the error in the configuration file. It then skips the rest
of the information on that line and processes the next line. Any
configuration information already processed on the line containing
the error is used. If user does not have permission to change Power
Management and/or suspend-resume configuration, and configuration
file has entries for which user doesn't have permission, it process
the entries for which user has permissions and prints error on rest.
