I want the external box to shut down the ESXi (which is powered by the ups), because there really isn't a way to do this from inside the ESXi host. The custom shutdown script on the external box does this for me (the laptop that is actually connected to the ups can survive without power for some four hours. The ESXi server has 15 or so minutes). Getting a clean shutdown in case of powerfailure is my primary reason for wanting an ups in the first place. //Svein - -- - --------+-------------------+------------------------------- /"\ |Svein Skogen | [email protected] \ / |Solberg Østli 9 | PGP Key: 0xE5E76831 X |2020 Skedsmokorset | [email protected] / \ |Norway | PGP Key: 0xCE96CE13 | | [email protected] ascii | | PGP Key: 0x58CD33B6 ribbon |System Admin | [email protected] Campaign|stillbilde.net | PGP Key: 0x22D494A4 +-------------------+------------------------------- |msn messenger: | Mobile Phone: +47 907 03 575 |[email protected] | RIPE handle: SS16503-RIPE - --------+-------------------+------------------------------- If you really are in a hurry, mail me at [email protected] This mailbox goes directly to my cellphone and is checked even when I'm not in front of my computer. - ------------------------------------------------------------ Picture Gallery: https://gallery.stillbilde.net/v/svein/ - ------------------------------------------------------------ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkpxrhMACgkQODUnwSLUlKS4WACgpSPI0QczBK0P1zRCBS/Vv3iZ 9AoAnA1/UoAtPZZBOg+YC+RsRXVBVT3b =nzqV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
