[SGVLUG] auto shutdown when ups indicates power out

[Manuel Fernandes]

PowerChute has worked great for me on Windows based servers in the 
past. You can even get a hub and redistribute that power failure signal 
out to several servers; if you have something big like the Matrix.

Linux has been tested on the following Linux distributions. :

    * Red Hat

    * Caldera

    * SuSE

    * TurboLinux (formerly Pacific HiTech)

Not on a Lynix system - have one on a Novel 5 server. It works great - 
had a
power failure and the server was nicely closed. Shounl be pretty 
stright forward
as I remember the install. APC is great for tech support - as I 
remember there
is a phone for them (and a live person - don't think they went to India 
yet).
Also there is a distributor in Northridge (as I remember).

Hi!

Ok - getting a new APC UPS with USB comm cable...


Question - has anyone setup a linux system to
shutdown with this unit?

the linux variant would be RH 7.3 (it is a server,
and I doubt I will have time available to upgrade it
significantly)

thanks
matti
