I wondered about this possible design for solving that problem:
- gpsd is set up to run on demand from inetd/xinetd (instead of all the time)
- gpsd is enhanced (if it doesn't already have this capability) to
call out to an arbitrary script when it is started, and that script
could turn on the GPS device.
Would that work?
Also there's still the problem of applications that expect the Gypsy
dbus interface, like Cellhunter and zhone. Is there any gpsd-based
solution for them?

Neil
