I have five linux pc's on UPS. I'm using Cyber-Power and APC systems. There are linux tools for these, but I'm not using them at the moment. Like Bob, I mainly need just to buffer the one-second power interruptions that are common in Cottage Grove. For longer interruptions, I have time to shut things down properly. I recently cooked a motherboard when an old Cyber-Power UPS failed. The unit was installed late in 1997, and was running RedHat 6.1 when it failed. So, it might be worthwhile to set up the monitoring software, I plan to use it after this experience. _______________________________________________ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
