[Nut-upsuser] newbie: Slackware servers w/ AP9617, AP9606
I have a couple of Slackware servers which I have plugged into some APC UPS's. Each UPS has a network management card in it - one is the AP9617 and the other is the AP9606. I want the servers to shut themselves down when the UPS's go into "low battery" mode. What do I need to install? I've read this thread lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/nut-upsuser/2006-January/000585.html which implies I should install: net-snmp NUT and that I need to configure ups.conf. Will that work? I must confess I'm a newbie as far as SNMP is concerned, though I've messed with Slackware a fair bit, and I've set up several Windows servers with APC's PowerChute Network Shutdown software. -- Matthew.van.Eerde (at) hbinc.com 805.964.4554 x902 Hispanic Business Inc./HireDiversity.com Software Engineer
