pmconfig(1M)                                              System Administration Commands                                              pmconfig(1M)

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 configu-
       ration 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 activiate the new configu-
       ration. 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 editing changes made to the  /etc/power.conf file to take effect, users must run pmconfig.

       The preferred interface for changing  Power Management and suspend-resume configuration is dtpower(1M).

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -r        Reset   Power  Management and suspend-resume  state to default and exit. User must have both  Power Management and suspend-resume
                configuration permission for this option.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0                       Upon successful completion

       >0                      An error occurred

FILES

       /etc/power.conf         System  Power Management configuration file

       /etc/default/power      File that controls permissions for system's  Power Management and suspend-resume  features. The  PMCHANGEPERM  key-
                               board  controls  the Power Management configuration permissions, while the CPRCHANGEPERM keyword controls the  sus-
                               pend-resume  configuration permissions.

       Allowed values are:

       all                     Any user can change the configuration.

       -                       No one except super-user can change the configuration.

       <user1, user2,...>      A  user in this user list or a super-user can change the configuration. The user list is a space and/or  comma  (,)
                               separated list. You must enclose the list in < and > characters.

       console-owner           A  user who owns the system console device node or a super-user can change the configuration.

       The default values are PMCHANGEPERM=console-owner and CPRCHANGEPERM=console-owner.

NOTES

       The pmconfig service is managed by the service management facility, smf(5), 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(1M). The ser-
       vice'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.
