Everything seems to be working quite well, however I'm having problems sequencing the powerdown of the UPS. I'd really like to use nut, because I have a wide variety of different UPSes in my organization, and many of them are dumb. I'm shutting down the UPS from /etc/rc.shutdown, however the UPS shuts down before the root partition is dismounted. This obviously defeats the purpose of a graceful shutdown! Does anybody shut down their UPS from rc.shutdown, and if so, how? -- Christopher Farley www.northernbrewer.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
