Hi all, I plan to upgrade some servers running good old RH7.2/7.3. Some of these machines' got UPS an I use nut to monitor them. I was very surprised to see that nut isn't included in RHEL 4.x (quite weird for an enterprise class distro). Is there any program I may use as a replacement for nut ? Or do I have to compile it by myself (I saw a nut SRPM was available for Fedora Core 4 so I guess it won't be hard to adapt it to CentOS 4.x). Thanks for your replies. Gilles.

So far it WORKSFORME. Regards, Tom Diehl tdiehl at rogueind.com Spamtrap address mtd123 at rogueind.com
