For a small number of servers, we can wire up directly to the board GPIO; for a larger number, I imagine USB->GPIO adaptors exist. - ---- - -# End deliverable - -Instructions for setting up a generic GNU/Linux single-board computer for managament purposes. A standard headless Debian system should suffice as a base. Serial management is done with `screen`. A system for mapping human server names to TTY/GPIO numbers is setup (trivial), plus a simple script for sysadmin-friendly power management will be written, so instead of `echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio10/etc`, it's `libremanage web2 shutdown` on the machine.
