[QUOTE="curiousbrain, post: 963633, member: 31608"] Start looking here: Software / Firmware This lists some PowerChute software that will run on Linux, and most likely Fedora; I stress that this was just a simple Google search. A decent rule of thumb on Linux is that if it exists in the private sector, there is more than likely an open-source version (or the beginnings of one) somewhere. Check Ubuntu software repo's, SourceForge, Google Code, places like that ... it probably exists somewhere. If PowerChute absolutely will not run, then see if your manual lists a default network location for the UPS; it might be possible to telnet to it on the default (23, iirc) or other arbitrary port. From there, you might glean additional information. Assuming you have some success with that, it is occasionally possible to setup a '/dev/xyz' device or other I/O device (maybe via /sys these days), and then write a bash (or other sh version) script to echo commands out/through it, in hex format; so, one might imagine something like: echo 0x01 > /dev/blah to turn the device on. edit: Oh yeah, I left out the most obvious thing: this forum is actually for UPS, the company, not UPS, the device. But, I will never waste an opportunity to blather on about .... things ... [/QUOTE]
