I just heard someone say that they believed that the kernel was still running after a halt is issued, but just cannot (won't?) create any processes. So while I realize this person may not know what they are talking about (and am showing my own ignorance for even listening), the question is...
Is the kernel still running after a halt? If it is, then there are very interesting possibilities for building in very specific capabilities in the kernel, then under "halt" condition have those capabilities available. AND NOTHING ELSE! Interesting from a security standpoint. Plus it would not require to to strip your system down to bare bones to eliminate holes. You could bring it up to a fully capable system at any time it was necessary. So Is the kernel still running after a halt? If so, has anyone found a way to take advantage of this?
