We support sysrq 'b' but feel a bit silly having that command > name. Ideally we'd hide (but still support) 'xm sysrq' too. Given that some of this is OS and/or arch specific, it may be hard to concoct general names. At least the concept of a hardware 'dump switch' is fairly well known, even if the implementation differs a bit across architectures. I suppose we could provide better names for some of the more useful Linux sysrq commands, provide a better / more general interface to them (both at the xm level and the xenbus level) and encourage other PV guests to support the new interface. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
