That should work if the driver knows the limitations of the PDU and can add the necessary delays. In that case, I guess we can safely leave out the "reset" operation.

Hi Daniel,

I’ve added you to the PDU control document so you can comment.

We can implement reset within the daemon by, as you say, sending off, pause and then on.

I’m already planning on calling it “power_control” or something similar. This can also include IPMI type interfaces.

Thanks
