If you want to insert a switch, B1701 may be a good place to do this. B1701 is the KLB0603K100SA choke that separates VB from VBAT. VB powers the system (and it's the positive battery terminal), while VBAT powers only the GSM modem. B1701 is placed near the battery connector, see attachment. If you don't mind soldering a wire to a QFN package, you could control the switch from the PMU, using any of the GPOs. Using the PMU instead of the MCU has the advantage that the line is held in a defined state while there is power. (On the MCU, any sneak current floating through the MCU and out of the GPIOs could cause problems.) Regarding sending the [EMAIL PROTECTED], how about using a wrapper around gsmd ? When starting, it would make sure the modem is powered on, then system(3)s gsmd. When gsmd terminates, the wrapper would power down the modem, and then exit itself. Not perfect, but it should be pretty stable and easy to do. - Werner
