I am not aware if there is already such a facility. My UPS has a USB interface and has a special driver which works only on Windows :(.
This is what I did: I connected my desktop to UPS. I connected my modem to raw power. Enabled NWAM on my desktop Ran a while loop, as root, which pings yahoo.com every 2 minutes. If three attempts fail, then I poweroff the system. In case the power comes back within that time, then it'll continue to work as NWAM would re-enable the interface. Because of buggy NWAM this would not work every time. So, in the while loop, I would disable and enable nwam service. That worked. One issue with this is that the network immediately fails if there is a power failure. Since my priorities have changed, I've now connected my modem to the UPS as well.. ~Kini On Wed, Jun 18, 2008 at 8:59 PM, sham pavman <shampavman.cg at gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > I am planning on writing a poweroff script that automatically checks to see > if the system is running on UPS and if so then attempts a shutdown > immediately. > I got this idea,thanks to very reliable power supply in our area. ;-) > I have an UPS that gives me a backup of 15mins ,and more often than not,my > computer runs all through the night. > > Now I am not sure if there is already such a script or service that is > running and its only a matter of enabling it to reap the benefits.. > But if not they i want to give it a try.. > > On this regard ,i have a few queries.. > I dont know which script actually has all the power info in it. > So i wanted to know where i need to look for these informations and > perhaps extract from it to see if its running on UPS then do the rest.. > > I would like to give this a try myself ,so can you please let me know how i > need to proceed? > > Regards > Shampavman > blogs.sun.com/sham > > > > _______________________________________________ > ug-bosug mailing list > List-Unsubscribe: mailto:ug-bosug-unsubscribe at opensolaris.org > List-Owner: mailto:ug-bosug-owner at opensolaris.org > List-Archives: http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/forum.jspa?forumID=54 > -- Jayakara Kini
