Help, Solaris 5.8 power management is too confusing.

Hello

I have an /etc/power.conf set as follows

>statefile //.CPR
>autoshutdown 30 18:00 09:00 shutdown
>device-depenency-property removable-media /dev/fb
>autopm disable

However my sun ultra 1 running SunOS 5.8 continually shuts down during the
day if left unattended for 30min. For my money this whole utility is one of
suns worst documented and the GUI is little better. There is no way the
average admin can get the best from this facility, forcing them to disable
power management completely and wasting energy.

Can anybody point out what I am doing wrong? I would like the systems to
fall a sleep after 30min of inactivity between 6pm in the evening and 9am
the next morning.

Also, if a workstation is being used as an Xterminal is there any setting I
can configure so that the system wont fall asleep as I am working on it?
