hmm I guess you are right... the 'man' really says data. I wanted to shutdown a couple machines with a command issued from a third which is 'directly' connected to the ups. These two machines usually are working, but if for some reason someone disconnects one of them and by coincidence the power fails ? The script stops here waiting for rsh. Any suggestions ?
