I have two machines running Mandrake (7.1 and 6.1) attached to an APC Back-UPS 650. Before the system drive (recently) crashed on the machine running Mandrake 7.1 I got APC's simple signaling daemon (ssd) to work, but I had problems getting any other daemons to talk to the UPS over the serial port. (I put another hard drive and recovered most of my data off of backups minus my UPS configuration.) The question that I have is does anyone have experience setting up one of the packages to do network shutdown under Linux with Mandrake? If so do you have any tips on setting it up?
