Great, the list is back! Okay, well, very-soon, I'll need to plug in my watt-meter to see how much juice my server, firewall, and maybe one desktop take. Guessing is less than 500w. Is there a tutorial for newbie on how to use this beast? Optimally, I would like the UPS to run for a few minutes, then instruct that things be "shutdown -h 120" (say). That is easy to write; difficult to program. thanks, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org The 7.79a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php
