Please allow me to rephrase: We need to have the OS detect the failure of at least one power supply. It is imposssible for the OS to notice the complete lack of power in enough to time to make that information useful. :) After-the-fact discovery of a past lack-of-power is not overly useful for sending alerts to humans who may be able to prevent the future/imminent lack of power. I'm sure someone else can say this more precisely and pedantically :) -- Seeya, Paul _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
