Re: [Xen-devel] Re: execve() in reboot.c ?

Additionally modern init supports "powerfail" which is the action to be

shutdown.
It would allow for userspace configurability very easily.
Though the original problem could probably be solved just by changing
the
hard coded user callouts to "/sbin/reboot" and "/sbin/poweroff", which
I
believe both exist in busybox (or can both exist). Given that other
things
like hotplug and modprobe are directly called out from the kernel, this
might be an ok approach.
The latter approach sounds good to me. The commands have obvious names,
have sane default behaviour on most distros, can be easily
overridden/defined if necessary. I'll go with that.
Much better than hooking into all that acpi crap, or an approach that
would force users to install xen-specific things in a domU for such a
trivial action.
