I, too, have BackUPS all over the place. My suggestion would be to decouple the monitoring daemon from the driver process, so we can insert stuff in the middle to do what GHP is asking for, if you haven't already done so. That would be a really healthy contribution to the Ports collection. As to your needs, Gopakumar, HylaFAX has the ability to send out page requests for certain types of pagers. I need to do somewhat the same thing you are talking about, although I have more reasons to page from the computer than just power fail. -- oooOOO O O O o * * * * * * o ___ _________ _________ ________ _________ _________ ___==_ V_=_=_DW ===--- Don Wilde [don@PartsNow.com] [http://www.PartsNow.com ] /oo0000oo-oo--oo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo--ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-oo--oo
