NAME

pmconfig - Configure the power management system

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/pmconfig

/usr/sbin/pmconfig [ -r ]

AVAILABILITY

SUNWpmu

DESCRIPTION

pmconfig enables the current system autoshutdown information to be viewed and/or the power management configuration modified. pmconfig reads in the configuration file power.conf(4) and issues commands to make this power configuration active. This may involve commands to the power management pseudo driver ( pm (7)) or a signal to the power daemon ( powerd (1M)). If no daemon is present and autoshutdown information is present, a daemon will be started.

ERRORS

If the program cannot open either the pseudo driver or 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.

All error messages start with "pmconfig (line n): ", and may be followed by:

Can't find device name :

The first field is not a device name.

Can't find threshold value :

the field following the device name is not an integer.

Too many threshold values :

More idle times than the device supports were given.

Unrecognizable dependent name :

The dependent field is not a device name.

a standard error message

Returned from the pm driver.
