I think anything that can run apcupsd can be networked easily to the box

sounds like a pain in the ....

So how would you do it, assuming you understood why it might be a
'good idea' to have say 3 machines (but only) on one UPS?

I take it you completely missed the moment of mild humour.

Ah, sorry. I got my 5 year old nephew to read your insightful and
humorous reply and he explained why it was 'funny'. ;-)

I didn't realise you were American ... ?

you're making no sense.

Obviously someone is using the wrong side of their brain.

In this (and only on this sort of thing *ever*) you are sort right.

and not sort left, I've seen that function somewhere.....
a bit like shift left or shift right.

I was having a serious / technical discussion about UPS monitoring
software and NT jumped in with something that wasn't funny (to me
anyway, even if I had got that is was supposed to be) and it's quite
likely that NT would have found configuring APCUPSD or NUT 'a pain'
and so I responded to his comment literally.

Well I was reading it, although not having or much experience of such systems,
although we did have a fire here a couple of years ago when the air con failed
and the UPS overheated and set fire to a room in the library and some servers got damaged.



So, I did allow my RBD to guide my response

I tghought that was a sleep dis-order.

when I should have used
some LBD to 'study' the scenario closer (but I wouldn't have been
bothered to etc).

I'm not sure how wearing a little black dress would help but each to his/her own of course.



But well done to you for actually getting how L/RBD might impact how
someone might interpret something

Happens here all the time some don't realise what's happening or whether it is or not.


(rather than your normal completely
abstract weirdo BS).

From your POV you mean, that was another point I was making.


you're making no sense.

and trying to work out whether you mean someone isn't making sense or where they talking nonsense.

I did see the bit about UPS to possibley mean the postal service or perhaps the unique selling point typo.
