Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi- Is there any support for happy lights on PC hardware in FreeBSD? The purpose would be to implement a watchdog timer interrupt routine, which would keep the light lit so if the routine didn't run at all and/or detected some bad system condition the light would either change color or go out. If additional hardware is needed, that's OK, the only purpose of the question is to avoid inventing this from scratch if the work already exists. This is for a system where disk traffic is not a significant measure of system health. Please cc me with any answer, since I am not subscribed to this list. Thanks in advance for any reply. -Dorr H.
