[Rack] Building some new electronics to open the gate?

[Jonathan Lassoff]

Well, and the real way to be sure is to login to the Wyse box itself (
user at 172.30.0.31) and run /usr/local/bin/open-door which is the actual
binary that frobs the data lines on the parallel port.

Only then, if that breaks, would I call things "broken". The retardedness
with ssh and sshpass was one of the motivators for me writing the daemon --
SSHing in just to execute a tiny commands is super-crazy-elephant-gun-sized
overkill. The CPU on there isn't that fast, so if many people trigger it at
once it slows down.

That's why I'd like a little daemon that can be triggered with a UDP packet
(and a detent mechanism). It's fast, simple, and relatively hard to break,
and an interface to it is a simple invocation of netcat away.

I hope to be by and experiment with it tonight.

Cheers,
jof
