Hello All, I'll probably start working on a little patch soon to enable 'clean' VKERNEL shutdown from the host system via some simple mechanism such as a signal handler.
Before I dig too deeply, a couple questions: 1) does this sound useful? 2) any 'gotchas' I should know about ? (e.g. VMSPACE / strange signal interaction) 3) thoughts on best implementation? I'm thinking the easiest and most 'real-system-like' would be to pass the same signals mentioned in init(8) directly to the in-VKERNEL init, which would "just work" (TM) & make things most consistant with a 'real system', although making TERM do a full shutdown might better suited to the vkernel environment (so all the vkernel systems don't need to fsck on boot when the host does a shutdown and inadvertently kills them) Thanks in advance, - Chris
