That's exactly how smartupstools will handle it. I can't think of a better solution. > What file should I `touch' and then remove? /var/lock/powstatd or > /var/state/powstatd? Since /var/state will be gone, I think something like /var/lib/<yourpackage>/<markfile> should be ok. Haven't you considered having a look at smartupstools, joining the project and writing just the hw module for your brand of ups? All the stuff around getting status, shutdowns etc is the same, and it'd be great to have one package supporting all brands .. http://www.exploits.org/~rkroll/smartupstools -- jozef :-) Hi!
