Hi guys, Situation ======= I'm managing a server in some rural area with too many power cuts! Even long power cuts that our ups can't handle, and sometimes flickery power spikes, such that evidently sometimes the server reboots, and waits at the stupid "check file system" prompts. I get to drive for an hour to fix that FS corruption! Now, that machine does not have IPMI management or similar, and the serial port is connected to the UPS for auto-shutdown. Problem ===== This leaves me with no "remote" way to fix serious errors such as FS checking Suggestion ======= Is there such a thing as remote serial console. I'm thinking *if* the kernel gets to boot, then it immediately starts the network interface, and a tiny server for sending console messages to whoever is connected. I should be able to fix FS corruption and other serious problems. My question is, does such a thing exist ?
Regards
