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).
