Does anybody have experience with, or suggestions about external watchdogs? We are having a pesky hardware problem that occasionally freezes a Sun box, leaving us with the power switch as the one and only control 'device'. Until that's fixed someone has to get there physically, and flip the switch.
>From my embedded systems days I remember on-board watchdogs (which we don't have here), so my idea was find some sort of external device. I am not sure which kind of I/O and control would be best for a 'nix box but I can envision a daemon that is activated/deactivated during init/shutdown(or forced reboot), controlled via serial port, NIC, __?__ , ... Maybe I'll just leave it at that point -- any ideas/experiences ? - Horst _______________________________________________ Eug-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
