the server_mode=1 survived the reboot. It also remains after a
conventional reboot.
Yes, it's disabled if you do a shutdown tho.
Yes, there is the package "powerpc-utils" and the command "autoboot" :
AUTOBOOT(8)
NAME
autoboot - tool for setting/resetting servermode booting of PowerMacs
SYNOPSIS
autoboot [-v] on
autoboot [-v] off
autoboot -V
DESCRIPTION
autoboot sets/clears Server Mode in the hardware PMU. When set the
machine will automatically boot as soon as power is restored after an
outage. When cleared the machine must be manually booted.
autoboot sets the Server Mode for the current OS session only. For
continued, unattended operation autoboot should be invoked during system
startup.
Normal shutdown (init 0) and scheduled boots (bootsched) also reset
Server Mode.
I create the init script "/etc/init.d/autoboot" :
#! /bin/sh
#
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
set -e
case "$1" in
start|restart|force-reload|reload)
echo -n "Autoboot..."
/sbin/autoboot -v on
echo
;;
stop)
exit 0
;;
*)
N=/etc/init.d/autoboot
echo "Usage: $N {start|stop|restart|reload|force-reload}" >&2
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
And the symbolic link "/etc/rcS.d/S60autoboot".
Regards.
