| |
Currently snsc_event for Altix systems sends SIGPWR to init (and abuses tasklist_lock..) while the sbus drivers call execve for /sbin/shutdown (which is also ugly, it should at least use call_usermodehelper) With normal sysvinit both will end up the same, but I suspect the shutdown variant, maybe with a sysctl to chose the exact path to call would be cleaner. What do you guys think about adding a common function to do this. Could you test such a patch for me? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
