Powerswitch for SME
« on: December 30, 2003, 02:42:59 AM »
Hi,

I compiled and repackaged Joris van Rantwijk's powerswitch module for the SME server. From Joris' documentation:

   The powerswitch driver makes it possible to use the ATX power button on
   your computer to shutdown Linux. You simply press the power button, and
   the driver shuts down Linux and powers off the machine, just like the
   shutdown command does.

I tested it on SME 6.0, but can't see why it shouldn't work on 5.5/5.6. It would be nice if somebody could verify this for me.

The module was compiled on an Athlon Duron system, but also tested on a Celeron system. Again, if anyone finds issues with some particular types of hardware, please let me know.

You can get the contrib via http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/mblotwijk/HowToGuides/powerswitch.htm

Have fun with it.

Michiel
