Does apcupsd send shutdown messages to Windows users logged into the server via Samba or does it only send it to users logged directly into FreeBSD? Reading the apcusbd manual I noticed it said that to access the RETURNCHARGE setting in the ups you need to be connected via a serial port. Do you use a Serial or USB connection? I am thinking of purchasing an APC SUA1500I model.

I use the apcupsd port in sysutils. I'm not sure whether it supports your Powerware UPS though. -j -- Jeffrey Goldberghttp://www.goldmark.org/jeff/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks, Ivan As others said, if you get an APC then apcupsd works flawlessly. I am using it myself on both Linux and FreeBSD. If you do buy something else though, have a look at /usr/ports/sysutils/nut This is the network ups tools program that supports a variety of UPSes and is very configurable. Have a look at their website and see if it supports your intended model. I have not used the BSD port myself, but I am using it with a cheap mustek ups on Linux and it works without problems.
