autoboot is a job scheduler/watchdog to
automatically compile/boot
and run test suites with experimental Linux
kernels. It runs from a
central server and a pool of clients. The central
server builds various
kernels, then automatically boots a subset of them
on the clients and
runs test suites (like autotest). The server is
very careful to watch
the clients for hangs and power switch them as
needed, and will also
automatically fetch serial logs from a console
server. All the resulting
information is stored in a unique output directory
for each for easy
post processing. autoboot is a collection of bash
shell scripts. It will
need some adaption for local infrastructure.
