Windows compatible Monitoring Software for APC UPS
Hi We have just installed Debian (Woody + Testing) server on a customer site. He wants to know if we can install a slave network UPS monitor program so that it can receive a command to perform a graceful shut down when the UPS runs flat. The UPS is currently connected to a Windows server via serial cable. It powers both boxes. The Windows server is currently running monitoring software supplied with the APC Smarthost UPS. Has anybody encountered a situation like this before? Thanks Ian -- Ian Forbes ZSD http://www.zsd.co.za Office: +27 21 683-1388 Fax: +27 21 674-1106 Snail Mail: P.O.

Has anybody encountered a situation like this before? I have not, but NUT claims to be cross-platform: http://us2.networkupstools.org/features/ I've used in a linux-only environment and it has worked well. (I don't have extensive experience with it so take that as only a small endorsement.) It's packaged for Debian. Take care, Dale -- Dale E. Martin, Clifton Labs, Inc.
