Subject: Sending poweroff command over LAN. Hello all.
I've got two Red Hat Linux servers, one's a file
server, the other a route/internet server. I've got an APC smart-UPS 1000. The
UPS sends a shutdown signal to the file server via a serial cable. You can
*$buy$*! an Interface Expander to get two serial ports out of the UPS, but isn't
good old Linux capable of much more than the usual
buy-buy-buy.
What I want to attempt to do is to get
the server which is connected to the UPS, when powering down, to
send the other server a poweroff/run-level 6 signal via the
lan.
Is this possible?
What proceedure would I use, and where would I find
the relevent info?
Is writing a shell script on the right track, or
doesn't this work over the lan?
Reguards, Trevor.
