Frankly, expecting a UPS to carry for 2 hours is an unreal expectation. I did have one that could do that at one time, an old 200+ pound NCR branded thing I had installed a quartet of 14AH wet L-A batteries in, making arrangements to handle the overflow tubes by directing then into a pint jar half full of soda. It worked well but floated the wet batteries at too high a voltage and ran them dry at 6 month intervals, so that was about $120 2x a year to keep it running, even after I found the float setting and turned it down 2 volts to 52 volts. So for several years and quite a few battery packs, I have used a pair of 1500wa rated UPS's that I can get batteries for at a lot less at 2 to 3 year intervals. With the load here, I have about 5 minutes to do a graceful shutdown else it drops the line in less than 10. The modern ext3 file system tolerates that well and I have not had to fsck a drive at other than the scheduled intervals in many years now unless the drive itself was on its way out. If you want a 2 hour holdup time, be aware that it tends to cost real money both at purchase time and at maintenance time. It is not going to be $350 in pocket change, but more likely in the 10 grand range for commercial rack mounted stuff. > I have checked fairly well and everything works as should be from > localhost and I can find no other problem other than the IP > configuration problem. > > I am leaning towards a hack or a corruption of Network Manager. > > > > I -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
