Protect Your Linux Boxes With NUTEnjoying a graceful shutdown of Linux in the event of a power outage is far more challenging than it is in the Windows world. In our latest TechBuilder recipe, A. Lizard spells out the problem: "Linux vendors almost never support UPS directly... So without UPS software, what I have is a functional but dumb UPS. That is, something that will not handle an automatic, safe shutdown in the event of a power outage." He also spells out the solution--the Network UPS Tool (NUT)--along with detailed instructions on setup and configuration to keep your systems safe.
