pmconfig(1M) System Administration Commands pmconfig(1M)NAMEpmconfig - 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 configura‐
tion. 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).

Using Power Management
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 service'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.
