The "smart ups tools" at http://www.exploits.org/~rkroll/smartupstools/ are being actively maintained, support a bunch of UPS models, and can manage multiple UPSes and PCs. The last version I tried (0.41.4) had some pretty big autoconf and compilation problems though. Hopefully it'll get better. For now I'd recommend upsmon, but keep an eye on the UPS tools. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
