And it can set for a specific time if I use something other than now :) But I need it for other purposes. Let me see if I can explain this. I'm using a real dumb UPS, which can signal FreeBSD that not only the AC's gone, but that the battery will be depleted. So, when this second signal arrives I properly shutdown my server. The problem (that just bit me yesterday) is that the AC power was restored after the FreeBSD box was shut down but _before_ the battery depleted. So, the battery didn't reboot and my server was still "waiting for a key to reboot". See the problem? And I can't program the UPS. Thanks a lot, Carlos. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
