That is an interesting suggestion. I don't know enough about the terminal driver to know how it decides where to send interrupt signals. Trevor could experiment with your suggestion. When I put my SMF hat on, however, I'd prefer to have Trevor's service be more SMF compatible and not require interrupts from the console. > > -- > Darren > > > This message posted from opensolaris.org > _______________________________________________ > smf-discuss mailing list > smf-discuss at opensolaris.org
