or, if you don't get a long-life ups, get software (smupsd? genpowerd? etc) which can accept a signal from the ups over a special serial cable. this allows the box to shut itself down gracefully when the power is out for over a couple minutes. also, do be sure you are shutting down properly (telinit 0, shutdown -h, whatever). power outages are expecte to cause problems, but just shutting it down shouldn't cause problems. watch that all your local filesystems actually get unmounted, and debug that process if it seems to not work. -- ____________________}John Flinchbaugh{______________________ | [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.hjsoft.com/~glynis/ | ~~Powered by Linux: Reboots are for hardware upgrades only~~
