I don't know how to get UPS communications working in linux or on Bering, but it occured to me that there might be an easier way...
If your bering machine is booting off some kind of read-only media (cdrom or a write-protected floppy, for example) then there is no reason to do a clean shutdown. You can just let the UPS die. I don't know what your setup is like or if it is possible for you to use read-only media. If it is, that might be a better way to go. -Mark Ivey- On Sun, 2004-03-14 at 07:15, Joey Officer wrote: > Has anyone configured the Bering system to acknowledge when a UPS has become > active, and wether or not to initiate a shutdown properly, or to cancel a > shutdown? > > I recently purchased a Belkin UPS (holiday special) that I've got plugged > in, and it was nice enough to come with a serial cable, for us with the > provided software (windows), but I'd like it setup for my bering box, cable > modem, the switch, and my cisco ata (voip terminal).
