It's clear that the current "design" of the interface embodied in power.conf is poor when reading the man page.
What is needed is a design for a new interface, and the SMF properties needed to implement that interface. Proposals to hide data elsewhere are simply wrong. The complex current semantics of power.conf are not desirable or maintainable, and it should be abandoned as an interface. Arguing about which properties are needed vs. which government standards is pointless without a design for a new interface. Good OS interfaces are about abstraction of hardware/platform differences. Trying to design your way to a correct interface from the current pile is pointless; decide how it should work, keeping in mind both technical limitations and business priorities, and design a new interface from scratch. - Bart -- Bart Smaalders Solaris Kernel Performance [email protected] http://blogs.sun.com/barts "You will contribute more with mercurial than with thunderbird." _______________________________________________ pm-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pm-discuss
