Just imagine this: [snip] > This problem has a solution? Hack? Workaround? The way I've set it up, the UPS monitor issues a 'shutdown -p' when the battery is low. A local hack to rc.shutdown then instructs the UPS to turn itself off a few seconds later. So after power has been down for a while, the PC starts shutting down, tells the UPS to shutdown soon, and turns itself off. The UPS shuts down seconds afterwards and waits for power to be restored - it needn't even drain its battery. --=20 David Sieb=F6rger drs@rucus.ru.ac.za To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
