Matt, I saw a previous post for NUT (http://www.exploits.org/nut), but I wasn't sure it provided the same "documented" (as in the notes in /etc/inittab) functionality as PowerD. Also, I'm in a mixed environment (Win32 and *nix), and the Smart-UPS my RH 8 box is connected has its "smart" port monitored by a NT4 server. I guess I'll look into NUT some more... Thanks!

Have a look at that before trying to get powerd working. -- Matthew Galgoci "If you were a woman I'd kiss you right now."
