NAME

pmconfig– configure the Power Management system

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/pmconfig [-r]| [-f file]

DESCRIPTION

The pmconfig utility sets the Power Management and suspend-resume configuration. User has permission to change Power Management configuration using pmconfig only if the PMCHANGEPERM keyword of /etc/default/power permits the operation. User has permission to change the suspend-resume configuration using pmconfig only if the CPRCHANGEPERM keyword of /etc/default/power permits the operation. See the 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 editing changes made to the /etc/power.conf file to take effect, users must run pmconfig.

The preferred interface for changing Power Management and changing the suspend-resume configuration is the dtpower command.

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.

-f file

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 file instead of /etc/power.conf and issues the commands to activiate the new configuration. If pmconfig was successful in setting the Power Management and/or suspend-resume configuration, the corresponding configuration in /etc/power.conf is replaced with the configuration in file.

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 keyword controls the Power Management configuration permissions, while the CPRCHANGEPERM keyword controls the suspend-resume configuration permissions.

Allowed values are:

all

Any user can change the configuration.

-

Only a process with the sys_config privilege can change the configuration.

<user1, user2,...>

A user in this user list or a process with the sys_config privilege can change the configuration. The user list is a space or comma (,) separated list. You must enclose the list in < and > characters.

console-owner

A user who owns the system console device node can change the configuration, or a process with the sys_config privilege can change the configuration.

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

ATTRIBUTES

See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

ATTRIBUTE TYPE	ATTRIBUTE VALUE
Availability	SUNWpmu
Interface stability	Unstable

SUMMARY OF TRUSTED SOLARIS CHANGES

Using Power Management

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 or suspend-resume configuration, and the configuration file has entries for which user doesn't have permission, it processes the entries for which user has permissions and prints error on rest.
