If you use nut the shutdowns and reboots can be made automatic. One machine directly monitors the ups and the other machines talk to it. When the charge in the ups drops low enough the machine in contact with the ups tells the other machines to shutdown. Then it shuts down and then the ups cuts power. If the bios settings are correctly set, when power is restored the machines will all start back up. The ups may or may not have a way to delay restoring power until it has a minimum charge (to allow another clean shutdown if the power fails again immediately). -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
