Subject: UPS monitoring

Hello,

Does anyone know if on a RHEL 5 system I need to install the
apcupsd to
monitor my UPS when I installed I noticed an icon on the desktop and
that apparently knows the system is on battery backup. But yesterday
when power went out I cant find anything in my logs I have a APC
Back-UPS 1500VA and used to install apcupsd when i was running
Mandriva
to take care of shutting down the system properly. I am
curious if RHEL
5 has a program to handle this.

Thanks Joey

Have a look at /etc/inittab. In my all of my RH servers it has:

# When our UPS tells us power has failed, assume we have a few minutes
# of power left. Schedule a shutdown for 2 minutes from now.
# This does, of course, assume you have powerd installed and your
# UPS connected and working correctly.
pf::powerfail:/sbin/shutdown -f -h +2 "Power Failure; System Shutting
Down"

# If power was restored before the shutdown kicked in, cancel it.
pr:12345:powerokwait:/sbin/shutdown -c "Power Restored; Shutdown
Cancelled"

I'm fairly certain that RH5 still has this. It may point you to where
you need to look.

Regards, Marshall
