I started with something very similar, years ago. Never got to finish it. On Fri, Nov 29, 2019 at 05:38:21AM +0000, Lars Brinkhoff wrote: > Possible workarounds for this include abusing the hardware power fail > interrupt to initiate shutdown, or listening for a signal from the > network.
That's also the idea I was toying with: since UPSes have the same requirements (shutdown a machine cleanly without user interaction), could something like that be simulated? SIMH pretending to be an UPS, and sending a "whoops, better bail quickly" signal? Older servers did this via a point-to-point serial link to the UPS, I believe, and some basic config was required on the OS then (but my memory is hazy - I haven't seen them in ages). Lennert
