Hi all. Thanks for the various posts regarding gaim. I am still downloading and satisfying all dependencies. Should take some more time (hopefully the last rpm i am downloading)
Now to another issue:
The Setup is Linux (ofcourse). Redhat 9.0
Need to have a smart shutdown procedure in place where in the event of a power failure (ups takes over being the obvious step), but in case of an extended power outage, the system should do a clean shutdown.
The UPS will be attached ONLY to the linux machine so 500/700 VA would suffice.
What next? What are the options?
a) Managed UPS? if yes, which one? cost? b) Ordinary will do? if yes, then what daemon will work?
