Shutdown Script?

[Mark McCulligh]

Thanks Rick for your help. It is exactly what I was looking for.

For all I have to do is create the file /etc/sysconfig/ups to declare 
the variables server=yes and model=upsdrvctl.

Than change where the halt script looks for the nut files. It is 
installed in /usr/local/ups, not /etc/ups. I assume if I installed nut 
using the rpm version it would have been install at /etc/ups.

Thanks again, now to see if it works.
Mark.
