Hello group:

I am trying to set up my machine to automatically powerdown after 60
minutes of inactivity. I'm using the apmd daemon (acpi doesn't work) and
apmd appears to be working as the machine powers down when using the
powerdown script.

In etc/rc.d/rc.M, there are these lines:

# Screen blanks after 15 minutes idle time, and powers down in one hour
# if the kernel supports APM or ACPI power management:
/bin/setterm -blank 15 -powersave powerdown -powerdown 60

Does "and powers down in one hour" apply to the monitor or to the machine
as a whole?

If it doesn't apply to the machine as a whole, what do I do to implement
this?

Thanks

this applies only to the display/monitor.
