What great info. I should have known there is a good way to do this in Linux! Now, I'm off to get a decent UPS. Thanks to all, and to Vince for the good info and links. I did come across this as well today. Actually I stumbled across it reading a link from the OT list.... A good UPS How To by Eric Raymond.... http://tldp.org/HOWTO/UPS-HOWTO/ Thanks again, Jim Flanagan On Monday 01 March 2004 16:30, Sid Boyce wrote:

Hi,
Does anyone have experience with running SuSE 8.2 with an Uninterruptible Power Supply? Does Suse recognize the unit? How do you set it up?
I fouund a reference to smartups in the help file, but can't find it on the distro disks.
Thanks,

I have a Liebert GXT1000MT-230 and a GXT700MT-230 in use here. http://www.liebert.com for the packages and details of cable pinouts. There is a commandline tool and a GUI version, both work fine. They also gave me an additional free license, so I could control 2 PC's, I have to ask them again as I lost the hard drive with the license. Regards Sid.
