UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

hi,

i am a total dummy in unix.

i just setup my sun solaris. i think i have enabled the power managment feature.

so after i leave the workstation idle for a while, the screen is off.

when i come back and try to activate it again, it displays in "OK" prompt.

i am sure i did not shutdown or logout.

please tell me what should i do to bring it back to the normal screen.

urgent and thanks

If it's at the ok prompt because of a Stop-A key sequence or break, you can type the word 'go' (no quotes). If the system crashed, then type 'boot'.

Look in /etc/rc2.d for the power management startup and disable it by moving it's startup script to begin with a lowercase s instead of uppercase S.

man power.d and power.conf. This will hep you out.
