Can be remote as well: -H. As it's more reliable to handle BMC from separate machine than the monitored one. OTOH /dev/watchdog must be handled from within the same system, and it is by PID=1 (systemd). And take a look at this ipmi.init - it creates static device node (in non-devfs systems) with RANDOM (not permanently assigned in kernel) major! if [ ! -c /dev/ipmi0 ] && [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ]; then major=$(awk '/ ipmidev$/{print $1}' /proc/devices) /bin/mknod -m 0600 /dev/ipmi0 c $major 0 || RETVAL=1 who knows what device would become available at /dev/ipmi0 at next reboot... (unless cleaned in rc.sysinit). This package should be banned, I'm considering C: ipmi-init somewhere, but I'm not sure where to put it... -- Tomasz Pala <go...@pld-linux.org> _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list pld-devel-en@lists.pld-linux.org http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
