That being said the reason I have such a big honking APC brand UPS is that my company's Logistics department overbought on a major contract! Rather than paying Inventory Tax on the extras the Boss sold them to several of us below our Dealer cost! I have approx. two hours run time but, this outage lasted over three and 1/2 hours while no one was home! According to my logs I did get a controlled shutdown on all three of my servers, the two Red Hat ES 4 severs have no problem only my Fedora 13 server. Thus I am leaning more towards a hack that was just waiting for ANY reboot to pounce! Especially after I got this: # rpm -V| --verify * bash: --verify: command not found rpm: no arguments given for verify Something is not right! -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
