Dear list, I have an Opteron server here! It has an Mustek PowerMust 1000 USB UPS attached. Unfortunately I do not know how to activate powermanagement! I tried from the yast but I see no battery icon as I see on a laptop! What should I do? Further going to power control in control center pressing the "laptop battery" I get the following message: in the second, third, ... tab of the dialog box that appears: Your computer seems to have a partial ACPI installation. ACPI was probably enabl ed, but some of the sub-options were not - you need to enable at least 'AC Adapt or' and 'Control Method Battery' and then rebuild your kernel. Now the questions are: 1) how to activate battery indicator? 2) how to instruct the powersave daemon to shut down the system when power supply is off? 3) Is there a way that the machine boots automatically when power is on again and then a script runs which will continue a broken simulation? TO make it simpler I am running a simulation and electricity is off suddenly. Then I want my UPS to instruct my Server to shut-down. If Electricity is on again then I want my UPS to boot my Server and when the server finally boots then I want a script to run automatically which will continue the simulation which was interrupted! Any ideas? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Make Yahoo! your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
