You really should do a bit more reading of the readily available information. e.g. http://ports.openbsd.nu/sysutils/nut says: " Nut also has a network communications layer that allows other machines to coordinate shutdowns with the machine that is physically attached to the UPS." Of course you would also look at the nut website and find: http://www.networkupstools.org/client-projects/ which you can do your own research on. Let your fingers do the walking....... on your keyboard.... before you ask more questions. This isn't really a misc@ question. ports@ or at the nut mail-list would be best IMNSHO.
