All the KVM-IP implementations I’ve seen (notably in my case, the one we have deployed :) use a Java app running on the client side, to connect back to the KVM-IP switch.
Linode actually hinted me towards Google code’s “shellinabox” https://code.google.com/p/shellinabox/ So that’s probably what they’re doing to expose virtual console access to the VMs. Anyway, of no use in my situation because we’re not using VMs. Moving on to the next item on my list... --Craig Constantine, http://constantine.name On Oct 1, 2014, at 5:00 PM, Robert Hajime Lanning <[email protected]> wrote: On 10/01/14 13:40, Craig Constantine wrote: > Linode has a “LISH” feature.

Unfortunately, it is a feature specific to virtual machines. For real servers, you either need to setup serial console capability (vendor dependant BIOS feature) or use a KVM-IP (vendor neutral). I have used "PC Weasel" in the passed, but it looks like they are not around anymore. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC_Weasel_2000 -- Mr. Flibble King of the Potato People http://www.linkedin.com/in/RobertLanning _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
