Futzing around with the sx/260 and my UPS.
The goal is to have the sx/260 running a Telpac node and be able to ride through any minor (up to about one hour) power outage.
So I needed to install the UPS software.
GAG! The software weenies have taken over the world "UPS Server" "UPS Agent" "UPS Console"
GAG! GAG! I _just_ want to have the UPS tell the computer to gracefully shutdown.
I don't want to "play" network administrator.
And after all this? I still probably have the computer plugged into a "surge" outlet rather than a "UPS" outlet.
Need to check more tomorrow.
Not to mention that the network equipment UPS croaked a couple months ago. Prolly just needs new batteries, but... one more hassle.
Back at it...
