OMV on QNAP TS-459 Pro+: Switch off front display?

Hello,

I have (sucessfully) installed OMV on my QNAP TS-459 Pro+. When the NAS is switched on, the front panel display shows "SYSTEM BOOTING" and a progress bar made from ">"-signs. Is there a way in OMV to infuence the display? E.g. switch it off or clear the message or even use it to show the real state of the system?

In the meantime I found out more about the display. It is available as a Serial Port (/dev/ttyS1) and it is possible to send command to it using 1200 Baud. I found this script that allows setting text from the console. There also seems to be a set of Python Modules to interact with it but I don't know if that is usefull for a OMV Plugin Integration as I am new to OMV and don't know how plugins work.

For the moment I will start playing with the script and use it from a on boot cron job to clear the display and send a "Ready" mesage to it. But if somebody knows how to better integrate this into OMV and maybe display stuff dynamically I would be happy to hear about it!
