I've been concentrating on the command shell front end and the framework to dynamically load command sets so far. I haven't done all of the research necessary to give you a definitive answer on implementation of the backend yet, but I can tell you what I have in mind. I would like avoid using any command line commands if at all possible. For example, I've done a some looking at the library that is built by the wireless tools. In other cases I think I would look at using the /proc tree in conjunction with the corresponding config file updates. > Would it be a real-time module to apply the changes, or commands > will be translated into standard configuration files and applied > on restart of the subsystems? I would like to avoid a reboot if at all possible. I haven't looked at all of the config items yet to see if this is possible. The idea would be to allow config changes to take effect immediately (no reboot). The user would need to save/write the config to make them permanent. If it turns out the there are items that cannot be changed without a reboot then they would be specifically labeled as such. I'm somewhat new to Linux development and thus the /proc interface (my experience is on AIX, HPUX, and Solaris). If you have any requirements or suggestions feel free to let me know. -- > Best Regards, > Vladimir Ivaschenko > Thunderworx - Senior Systems Engineer (RHCE) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
