Hi, I have modified nldev[1] to instead of just executing mdev on kernel events it will forward the event to a helper program via pipe. If helper program exits (normally due to timeout), it will respawn it as needed.
netlink listener code that needs to be in memory all the time: http://git.alpinelinux.org/cgit/ncopa/nldev/tree/nldev.c handler helper code: http://git.alpinelinux.org/cgit/ncopa/nldev/tree/nldev-handler.c Since this is just a demo of the concept, the only thing the helper program currently do is what nldev previously did: set environment and fork/exec mdev. (so you should actually be able to use it as is...) What I would like is to modify mdev to have most of the logic in nldev-handler.c. That is read events from stdin instead of environment and time out after a given time. I am not sure the subsystem filter is needed. Proposed way to call mdev is: mdev -i -- [1]: http://git.r-36.net/nldev/ _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list busybox@busybox.net http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
