For a while I considered forcing a reboot and then dealing with the shutdown during the boot-up. It seems kind of weird to be rebooting the computer while the UPS is screaming about its battery being critically low. My problem was a quirk with NUT. Of course, the disks are still mounted while the FreeBSD's shutdown script is waiting on NUT's UPS powerdown command. After a bit of experimenting (and using fsck -y), I finally discovered a reasonable and simple script for rc.shutdown. /path/to/ups/powerdown/command & sleep 2 Whether the sleep value needs to be tweaked for each computer remains to be seen... -- Christopher Farley www.northernbrewer.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
