I have two linux boxes sharing a APC 650VA back UPS that are networked
together. One is an old AT based K5 75MHz that spends its days pushing
and mangling packets and dolling out IP addresses. The other is an ATX
based Althon system with an ASUS K7V m/b. Communication with the UPSes
is good and the machines have proven to be able to talk to each other
when the power is out and shut down properly. I even have them set up
to have the UPS cut the power after a certain amount of time until the
power comes back.
Now here is the problem. The AT based machine with a real switch has no
problems coming back on when the power comes back, but the ATX machine
with its "soft" switch stays off. I was wondering does anyone know of a
way to have the ATX based system come back up automatically when the
power comes back?
