APM problems

[Alex Lavrov]

Hello,
well, my redhat 7.3, after couple of days(maybe hours) od idling s going to sleep so hard, that I can't wake him, is it APM that causing him to sleep, if so, how can I disable it?

thanx

- do you have apmd running? You can turn that off by doing 'service apmd stop' and 'chkconfig apmd off'

- apm=off can be passed to the kernel at boot time

- any messages in the logs? Are you sure it's apm that's causing it to sleep and not just some weird bug downing the machine?

1)chkconfig --list apmd

2)To disable apmd:
chkconfig --level 23456 apmd off

apmd intended for notebooks and laptops mostly.
Note! chkconfig is RedHat specific,wouldn't work on another linuxes.

Hello!

First of all you can disable it in the bios.
Then also stop the deamon of apm by
chkconfig apmd off (will off for the running level)
