Hi, <br />
<br />
Would like to know if there is some kind of script or app I could install on my Suse Linux 9.1 Ent server to do the following<br />
<br />
Scenario <br />
<br />
Power failure occurs and UPS switches to battery backup,<br />
Then sends signal via usb / serial to the server, Server picks up signal and initiates a shutdown sequence.<br />
<br />
The area that this server is located at suffers from sever power outages for long periods of time. <br />

UPS Script - Shutdown server

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
