On my FC5 box I had the following in my inittab : pf::powerfail:/sbin/shutdown -f -h +3 "Power Failure; System Shutting Down" # If power was restored before the shutdown kicked in, cancel it. pr:12345:powerokwait:/sbin/shutdown -c "Power Restored; Shutdown Cancelled" I have read the upstart documentation but I just can't figure out how an event script should be written like to be able to use a UPS on the system. Does anyone has some experience with this and maybe an example script for a powerfailure ? Thanks in advance, Edwin </blockquote></div> if you use a APC UPS then you may want to check the APC UPS daemon: <a href="http://apcupsd.org/">http://apcupsd.org/</a>
