Re: [PATCH] Power control

I've been looking at the patch, and I do want to integrate it in.  It's going to take a little work, however.  The current implementation can block the conserver process if the exec'ed script fails to behave nicely (and no matter the whole process will stop, waiting for it to complete).  That really needs to be adjusted so it won't block...and can still service other consoles intermixed with the one running the command.  And an ability to stop it, in case it does go bad.

And I'm all for making it more generic as well...perhaps by making the 'k' command programmable - in the sense that you can associate a command with any character ([a-z0-9]) after 'k' and give it a label so you know what the command is supposed to do.

So, 'k' for 'k'ommand...or perhaps even '!' to invoke a command?  Harder to type, but consistent with vi, for example.

Any feedback appreciated...
