If anyone else needs it, C code for Malcolm Beattie's ext-int kernel module to process external interrupts is in IBM's Redbook "Large Scale Linux Deployment" at http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg246824.html
"Using the ext_int module, you can send a signal to a specified process upon receiving an external interrupt of a specific type. When loaded, the ext_int module requires three parameters: code The hexadecimal external interrupt number to listen for pid The process to notify upon receiving the external interrupt code sig The UNIX signal to send to pid For instance, to send UNIX signal 10 to process with pid number 1234 upon receiving external interrupt 0x1243, use: insmod -o ext1234 ext_int code=0x1234 pid=789 sig=10 To unload the module, use: rmmod ext1234" > Date: Wed, 6 Sep 2006 09:02:02 -0400 > From: "Romanowski, John (OFT)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: How to signal a Linux guest from z/VM? > From z/VM I'd like to "signal" a SLES 9 guest somehow and have the guest > respond by running a shell script (CP SIGNAL SHUTDOWN is not what I want > to do). > I don't want to use SECUSER and CP SEND, my Linux console isn't at a > shell prompt, it's at the Login: prompt. > Does Linux have a facility to process external interrupts sent via the > CP EXTERNAL command? -------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail, including any attachments, may be confidential, privileged or otherwise legally protected.
