hmm
I guess you are right... the 'man' really says data.
I wanted to shutdown a couple machines with a command issued from a third which
is 'directly' connected to the ups.
These two machines usually are working, but if for some reason someone
disconnects one of them and by coincidence the power fails ? The script stops
here waiting for rsh.
Any suggestions ?
