[Cialug] Need help automating log capture/reboot

[Justin Richeson]

So, I've got a bit of an odd power/hub setup, but it seems to work fine for
everything else...
I've got a powered hub...and the raspberry pi is plugged into that hub as a
device and is being powered by the hub....on one of it's higher power
"charge" ports.
And then the hub is plugged in as a device of the pi so I can use the USB
hub...as a hub.
If memory serves then, into the hub I have my wifi stick, a USB stick, a
USB-->Serial adapter for an X10 firecracker, and the pi.  I'll put a USB
power analyzer on it again when I get home, but if memory serves it's had
no power issues...and the pi never shows the power fault icon with this
setup.

This is the hub:

*NOTE* I just noticed...looking at the hub's description, that the "charge"
ports on the hub are just that...CHARGE ports.  In no way is the raspberry
pi a device unto itself via the hub.  It's 7+2.  7 HUB ports + 2 Charge
ports.
