dxpower(8)
NAME
  dxpower - controls energy saving features on systems that can be power
  managed

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/bin/X11/dxpower

DESCRIPTION
  The Power Manager application, dxpower, is used to maintain and manage the
  power management features on computers and peripherals that can be power
  managed.

  Power Manager lets you place monitors in three power saving modes: Standby,
  Suspend, or Off and lets you selectively spin down inactive disks to reduce
  power consumption.  You also can specify when you want power management
  features to be active: always, never, or only at a specific time of day.

  Privileged (root) users have the capability to set system wide power
  management values.  Non-privileged users set power management values on
  their monitors for the current log in session.

  The Power Manager application can be invoked from:

   1.  The CDE Application Manager

   2.  Application Group: System_Admin

   3.  System Admin Subgroup:  DailyAdmin

  If you are not using CDE, start Power Manager from the command line:

       # /usr/bin/X11/dxpower

  For more information about how to use the Power Manager application, start
  the application and click on the Help button.

  An alternative to using the Power Manager application is to set and control
  power management attributes from the command line by using the sysconfig
  command. Refer to System Administration for more information about setting
  and controlling power management from the command line.
