OK. I was looking for warnings ... not sure why I didn't see that 'Volatile' note. > "However, the PM teams are working on a proposal for a library and > cli's which would provide the committed API's to be used for power > management control (and for things like GPM and/or HAL to consume) > which would make /usr/openwin/bin/sys-syspend obsolete.

If I read that correctly, it's saying that if we approve this, there'll be a functional gap in withdrawing one while the other is still in proposal stage, but the gap doesn't actually matter because the existing interface doesn't work right (Randy's "it is broken" note). In that case, ok. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
