EFW Support

How can I make my endian firewall shutdown when I push the power button?  Basically so it does a normal acpi shutdown using acpid.  I have a headless box and don't always have a pc handy to hit the web gui to shut it down in an emergency. 

Not tested but:

 dear sir... i newbie in linux and endian. I had try using above sugest. but it is't work for my endian.
I am using endian comunity 2.5 , any help really apreciate please...............

Thanks

Me too !

I have Endian 2.5.1 running on a  of old Dell PowerEdge SC420 servers and would like to be able to shut them down using the power button through ACPI (I switched from Astaro and this is something I miss)

I will be happy to do some testing if anyone can suggest a way of installing a custom package for this, what Linux distro is Endian based on ?

Uname -r gives 2.6.32.43-57.e43.i586

cat /etc/issue gives Endian Firewall Community release 2.5.1

for temporary solution for headless endian i am using batch script with plink to shutdown endian trough ssh

Hi,
I succeeded in porting acpid 2.0.14 on efw 2.5.1
No rpm, sorry. But I attached a tar with all needed files

untar it in your root and run /etc/rc.d/init.d/acpid start
that's all.

....BUT
Since bootstrap changed heavily in 2.5, I don't yet know what's the best way to start it automatically.
I'm studying it and hope i could post a solution asap.

Hope it could solve a part of your problem

I decided to use the start.local script, as the new python bootstrap management is rather inaccessible.
If anyone has a better idea, is welcome.

This the "complete" tar with the last file.

thanks claurita I will test it.
at this moment I am using batch script file trough putty to shutdown efw from my desktop

Hello there, Claudio.

Are you positive that this tarball is working? I just have tried with efw 2.5.1 and I got:

Thanks

same here... any solution?
thanks

Same problem also here...  may we have to just recompile the source file? But how ?

EDIT
After some trials and error I managed somehow to compile the acpid 1.0.6 (or anyway to make it running) but system gives an error because it can't find /proc/acpi/event.

In fact, reading a little bit about acpid I found that the earlier acpid v1 don't work anymore on new releases because the proc/acpi/event device is no more present.
Now there's acpid v2 that should be used.

Ok, now I'm trying to compile it on my efw 2.5.1, say me good luck
(also because it seems that noone post on this topic anymore besides me)

No way at all :(

I managed to get gcc (and make) working on efw 2.5.1 so I downloaded original package of apcid 2.0.14 and tried to make it but with no success.
(it says fstatat() could not be found)

So I'm stuck with the Claudio's binary and the GLIBC_2.4 not found error :(

Probably if we had the Claudio's source files I could try to rebuild it using the glibc 2.3.4 which are included in efw 2.5.1.
Or perhaps Claudio himself could build his binary to target a glibc_2.3.4 ?? (but he seems to be disappeared...)

Good luck compiling at Endian.
I made on earlier versions, but it's a pain in the ***. Sometimes you must recover older packages from older endian versions to make it work.

Have you looked at the dev environment I put together?  It allows you to build the whole product up to and including creating the CD image using only the SRPMs available on SourceForge.  Also you can use it to easily build other packages you want to add.  You can also upgrade individual packages with newer upstream versions and then rebuild them to install directly or create a new CD image with it included.

I have done all of these with it and used it to update the efw-ipsec package and develop the new package to support L2TP.
