If cells of the batteries are shorted out, they might draw a strong current which might be causing the UPS to get hot. BTW, do I need to set up something to monitor my UPS, or is that all covered by default after installing Fedora? I can see upowerd running, but its manpage doesn't tell me much, so I don't know what it actually does. Is there a way to get some information from the UPS like there was with nut? If something is configured to happen when the power fails (and the battery runs low), where are the configuration files for this? -- Fedora 17 -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
