Original question:
-----------------
I've been given an Ultra2 Sparc loaded with Solaris 2.6 that goes down
automatically when idle for an hour:
I already changed in /etc/power.conf 'Behavior' from 'shutdown' to 'default'
but still the server goes down when it goes idle for an hour or so.
Is there anything else i have to do to prevent this from happening?
-----------------
I received many replies which i quote below, the first thing i tried was
setting 'Behavior' to 'noshutdown' but still the server went down, then as
root i used CDE's 'dtpower' to set autoshutdown to 'NEVER' and it worked.

at the beginning of the /etc/initd/power script put a "exit 0 " on the
3td or 4th line. the do a kill of the power daemon.

start and stop /etc/rc2.d/S85power script

The line should look like in /etc/power.conf
# Auto-Shutdown Idle(min) Start/Finish(hh:mm) Behavior
autoshutdown 30 9:00 9:00 noshutdown

Change it to "noshutdown" instead of "default". That does the trick for me.
I believe that it defaults to "noshutdown" in Solaris 7. Funny, eh? :-)
Another way to solve the problem is to kill the powerd daemon to begin with:
1) /etc/init.d/power stop
2) mv /etc/rc2.d/S85power /etc/rc2.d/s85power
This is actually what I do on all my machines. Of course, if you are indeed
watching the power levels from your UPS's or something, you don't want to do
that, I believe :-)

Just get rid of SUNWpm and SUNWpmow
# pkgrm SUNWpm SUNWpmow

you have to disable de autoshutdown by putting /etc/rc2.d/S85power to
/etc/rc2.d/s85power. The next time you reboot the machine the powerd daemon
won't start.

You need to change the behavior to "noshutdown".
If you don't want power management running at all, remove the /etc/rc?.d script.

-------------------------------------------------
You can disable the power management.
1. /etc/rc2.d/S85power stop
2. mv /etc/rc2.d/S85power /etc/rc2.d/_S85power

change to noshutdown
or comment the autoshutdown line.

As root, execute /usr/openwin/bin/xview/dtpower and adjust setting
to "never".
nadya@rai.ucsd.edu (Nadya Williams)
-------------------------------------------------
Login as root into CDE and in Power Management Menu set autoshutdown to
never.
Check screen saver settings.

Change 'default' to 'noshutdown'.
That should do it. The 'default' behavior IS shutdown...

Find the scripts in /etc/init.d and their links in rc[0-9].d and PURGE them!!!!
