Thread-topic: pmconfig(1) location
Hi all,

The other day jeffpc mentioned on IRC that the PCP pmconfig(1)
binary semi-conflicts with a Solaris power management utility
of the same name.  We've probably not noticed it before because
they reside in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin respectively.

Would anyone object to migration of the PCP pmconfig into the
private $PCP_BINADM_DIR?  (I prefer this approach, and for all
platforms not just Solaris)

Should a compat symlink be installed in the /usr/bin location
on non-Solaris platforms, in case of any scripts outside PCP
using it?  (I'd prefer not to do this, but would readily agree
if anyone has a case where this would break something?)

cheers.
