Related question: What would be the most elegant way for one FreeBSD box (running upsd) to signal another that it should shut down? Oh sure, I can also think of a number of solutions, but I'm still looking for one that's reasonably foolproof/secure, and that doesn't *feel* like a hack. (Scott, my answer to your question would depend on whether your UPS software on NT will allow you to execute something arbitrary upon detection of an outage.) -- V Johann Visagie | Email: wjv@CityIP.co.za | Tel: +27 21 419-7878 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
