>Description:
I've got a home server running FreeBSD, the server is headless and since that I need some simple way to indicate: there's a problem that needs an attention (e.g. hdd failure, hdd smart bad, network failure, and so on). A bunch of LEDs, each indicating it's own problem, connected to parallel port is a perfect solution.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find any built-in way to control the LEDs. 'Echo smth > /dev/lptX' says 'device is busy', grounding BUSY line on device side doesn't help. 'Echo smth > /dev/ppiX' says nothing, but it also does nothing. And I couldn't find a FreeBSD port, that solves my task.
So, I'm offering this port - a command line tool to switch connected to parallel port LEDs.
