Hi admins ,
This was a bit tricky , A lot of people including myself though it to be a
dtpower problem and with the power managment setting .
Well It wasn't exactly the case .
Mark Mcmanus helped ,and told me about the special keys in solaris
(speckeysd deamon) .
It appears that this process enables the features of some special keys in
solaris , including the power key which brings the system to a suspend mode
(saving system state).
He recommnded runing a script on each station to check if the process is up
and if so - kill it . :
<#! /bin/sh>
speck_file=/usr/openwin/bin/speckeysd
if [ -f "$speck_file" ]; then
/bin/mv $speck_file ${speck_file}.old
fi
keyd_yes=`ps -eo pid,comm |\
/bin/grep speckeysd |\
/bin/grep -v grep |\
/bin/awk '{print $1}'`
if [ -n "$keyd_yes" ]; then
/bin/kill -9 $keyd_yes
/bin/mailx -s "$host had its Power Key Disabled" $mailto_min < /dev/null
fi
** a fellow friend told me this can be done also by issuing the command :
kbd_mode -a disable .
thanks .
