Sure it does, but I thought that a daemon like sysrq to send kill and restart commands to a remote computer would be the best location to implement this functionality, which I think differs from ssh login in the following situation:
I want to automate this process. Say machine A is my main PC and machine B is connected via network to A, but should only run when A is running. With automated shutdown through ssh, you either need a no-password key for B on A or you need to make a sophisticated restricted shell set up, where the receiving end on B will be of similar complexity as your sysrqd. > > 2. this daemon seems to be the best place (except maybe a remote ssh key > > for root?!) to have some kind of remote shutdown command for a > > small set of computers which are all booted and shut down at the same > > time. > > I don't feel like I will integrate this upstream because it's not the > goal of sysrqd to do a such thing IMHO. Well I'm fine with that and, of course, I can manage my own fork. I just thought this would be a nice thing to send upstream.
