Hi!
The shutdown script from the powerchute software should start a
Hello Philippe, script,
that loggs in the machine, I want to shutdown, runs shutdown and the loggs out again.
my brother solved this problem a bit easier, sacrificing speed for security. He wrote a shutdown script and added it as a service to etc/inetd.conf. Thus a simple connect (telnet) to that port triggered the execution of the script. Your firewall configuration should make sure that only the machine with the ups is allowed to connect to that port. Otherwise a portscan or a user trying to be funny would trigger a reboot on that machine. just a suggestion. cya Jörn ------------------------------------------------------------ Jörn Ott Telefon: (0 22 24) 94 08 - 73 EDV Service & Beratung Telefax: (0 22 24) 94 08 -74 Lohfelder Str. 33 E-Mail: mailto:white@ott-service.de 53604 Bad Honnef WWW: http://www.ott-service.de/
