powerd(1M)

NAME

     powerd - Power manager daemon

SYNOPSIS

     /usr/lib/power/powerd [-n]

DESCRIPTION

     The powerd daemon is started by pmconfig(1M) to monitor sys-
     tem   activity  and  perform an automatic shutdown using the
     suspend-resume feature. When the system is  suspended,  com-
     plete  current  state  is  saved on the disk before power is
     removed. On reboot, the system automatically starts a resume
     operation  and  the  system is restored to the same state it
     was in immediately prior to suspend.

     Immediately prior to system shutdown,  the  daemon  notifies
     syslogd(1M)  of  the  shutdown, which broadcasts a notifica-
     tion.

OPTIONS

     The following option is supported:

     - n   No broadcast mode. The daemon silently shuts down  the
           system without notifying syslogd(1M).
