Sender: user-mode-linux-devel-admin@lists.sourceforge.net Errors-To: user-mode-linux-devel-admin@lists.sourceforge.net List-Unsubscribe: , List-Id: The user-mode Linux development list List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , List-Archive: Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2004 15:58:23 +1030 To: user-mode-linux-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Cc: selinger@mathstat.uottawa.ca I propose using a standard UPS interface as a way for mconsole to trigger a full system shutdown. I don't know the UPS market well and am hoping someone can point me a to a more open protocol that what I've found so far. This doesn't solve the bigger problem of UML control from mconsole, but it addresses one immediate need. The key thing is that this doesn't require the user of the uml to use any special software or configurations, which in turn means I don't have to give anyone any more training than a URL for standard Linux UPS software. http://quasar.mathstat.uottawa.ca/~selinger/ups/simulator.c is easy to find. It mostly implements an informally documented protocol (http://quasar.mathstat.uottawa.ca/~selinger/ups/belkin-universal-ups.html) and is GPLd. Some slight mods in how the communications happen and this could be how mconsole talks to a ups daemon listening on one of the virtual serial ports. Not sure if this includes upsd that comes with many distros however this UPS is listed as supported at http://eu1.networkupstools.org. Anyone know of a simulator for a more open/more appropriate UPS protocol that is understood by more than one of the open source UPS daemons? -- Dan Shearer dan@shearer.org ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
