Well, the benefit is that the forever running daemon becomes very very tiny, while the netlink aware handler does the netlink header parsing. This give me exactly what I am interested in: a hotplug handler that is fast while keep memory consumption at a minimal during long periods with no events. If busybox mdev developers wants to implement mdev -i to read from a stream (eg pipe/fifo) instead of datagram, then the short-lived handler can read from netlink and write to the pipe in what ever format the mdev parser expects. -nc _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list busybox@busybox.net http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
