The Network UPS Tools package (in ports as sysutils/nut ) can manage all sorts of UPS hardware, and you can set it to shutdown servers when the UPS battery gets low. http://www.networkupstools.org/compat/stable.html says the Back-UPS ES is supported. I use nut on a similar USB-monitored APC UPS at home. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
