Hi admins ,

This was a bit tricky , A lot of people including myself though it to be a
dtpower problem and with the power managment setting . 
Well It wasn't exactly the case . 

Mark Mcmanus helped ,and told me about the special keys in solaris
(speckeysd deamon) . 
It appears that this process enables the features of some special keys in
solaris , including the power key which brings the system to a suspend mode
(saving system state). 
He recommnded runing a script on each station to check if the process is up
and if so - kill it . :
<#! /bin/sh>

speck_file=/usr/openwin/bin/speckeysd

if [ -f "$speck_file" ]; then

/bin/mv $speck_file ${speck_file}.old

fi

keyd_yes=`ps -eo pid,comm |\

/bin/grep speckeysd |\

/bin/grep -v grep |\

/bin/awk '{print $1}'`

if [ -n "$keyd_yes" ]; then

/bin/kill -9 $keyd_yes

/bin/mailx -s "$host had its Power Key Disabled" $mailto_min < /dev/null

fi

 ** a fellow friend told me this can be done also by issuing the command :
kbd_mode -a disable . 

thanks .
