| There are 2 *much* better powerd's than the one that is included as |
| an example with sysvinit. The powerd.c in this distribution is just ment |
| as a programming example, not to be used in a real life situation. |
| |
| 1. GENPOWERD. |
| |
| This is a powerd written by Tom Webster <webster@kaiwan.com>. It's a |
| nice package, you can find info at http://www.kaiwan.com/~webster/genpower.html |
| |
| 2. POWERD-2.0. |
| |
| This is another powerd, written by rubini@ipvvis.unipv.it (Alessandro Rubini). |
| The main advantage over genpowerd is that it can signal other machines over |
| the network. |
