Thanks for the good info here regarding usb and the kernel. I definitely cant run usb on this box with the existing kernel. I do have a 9.1 box running, and may try to setup a master/slave deal, but the shutdown of my 8.2 server will then rely on the 9.1 box, but both are reliable.
Thanks again,
Jim I have an APC back ups 1000, and had a similar problem. In my case APCUPSD didn't yet have USB support, but when I bought the UPS it was with the understanding that it had a serial interface. It turned out that APC offered a free cable on request that plugged into the same RJ45 jack as the USB cable, but the other end went to a serial port. You could probably get a cable from APC for your UPS to enable serial support, but be forewarned. By
