Finally I was understand a bit the master/slave of apcupsd after writing the email, but thanks for the aclaration as I understand it better.
I still have not clear if possible disconnect just certain machines/devices (the non-critical ones, like a secondary desktop, speakers, printer...) while the critical ones the maximum available time andcertain devices able to finish certain tasks (printing a page...). Does each power connector can be disconnected in an independant way or just certain expensive models? Anyone knows if possible to use an UPS as watchdog too? It could be great if someone explains their personal experiences (positives and negatives) with certain UPS models. I don't want to have negative surprises when adquiring a very expensive equipment like this. Any unrecommended brand(s) for UPS systems? I heard Belkin are quite bad, for example. Probably most questions weren't replied because of being wrongly explained and a lot at once, sorry. My broken english helps a lot in this matter. Thanks for all. --- Matthew Dillon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> escribió: > I don't know if the UPSes with USB ports are > supported, but the ones > with serial ports are definitely supported. > > apcupsd can be set up as a master/slave, where > one machine communicates > with the physical UPS and is the master, and the > other machines take > their shutdown queues from the first machine. > > -Matt ______________________________________________ LLama Gratis a cualquier PC del Mundo.
