POWERD(8) Maintenance Commands and Procedures POWERD(8)

NAME

powerd - power manager daemon

SYNOPSIS

/usr/lib/power/powerd [-n]

DESCRIPTION

The powerd daemon is started by pmconfig(8) to monitor system
activity and perform an automatic shutdown using the suspend-resume
feature. When the system is suspended, complete current state is
saved on the disk before power is removed. On reboot, the system
automatically starts a resume operation and the system is restored to
the same state it was in immediately prior to suspend.


Immediately prior to system shutdown, the daemon notifies syslogd(8)
of the shutdown, which broadcasts a notification.

OPTIONS

The following option is supported:

-n
No broadcast mode. The daemon silently shuts down the system
without notifying syslogd(8).
