I've had to toss out dozens of various BackUPS units, mostly in the 450-600VA range... They act like they have a dead/weak battery, so I replace the battery with a brand new one, and the unit is dead. They are typically 2-3 years old at this point, so hardly worth bothering with.

That depends on how important it is to never fail. If it is extremely important, you might want something with redundant components like the Symmetra line. These are designed to keep working with some failed components and to allow you to replace parts with the equipment on bypass but still running. > All in all about a handfull of them.

I bought > them over a few years, so it shouldn't be a bad batch or something like that. You might blame one or two on bad components, but this sounds like something is wrong with the input power at your location. I assume they are lasting at least through the 2 year warranty period. We have at least a few dozen of them and haven't noticed any pattern of problems other than aging batteries. Are you tracking the in/out power levels on the smart units to see what they have to deal with? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

Linux HA or Heartbeat IP address question
by Devraj Mukherjee 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

Hi all, I am following the guide on HowToForge to get Heartbeat going for two Apache web servers (http://www.howtoforge.com/high_availability_heartbeat_centos), a quick question for anyone who might have a similar setup. Do I have to assign the service IP to either of the NICs or does Heartbeat do that automagically?

Redistributing CentOS
by James Bensley 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

Hey Listees, Just a quick question. I hope this isn't received incorrectly by everyone as I do mean the best for the CentOS project; I am wondering if it would be frowned upon to upload CentOS to my RapidShare account. I understand I can freely distribute CentOS but to what extent? In its simplest form I only really want to upload CentOS 5.2 to my RapidShare account for speed. I had to download it twice this weekend at two difference remote sites and sometimes the mirror was a bit slow. Generally they are quite fast but I mean with RapidShare I can get 50Mbps compared to normal 6-10Mbps from some mirrors. I understand it depends on the line I am downloading from and the load on the mirror etc but because fools like myself and many others have paid RapidShare accounts we can download things super quick with a vary reliable supplier. I am wondering why I can't find CentOS on there already as that was the first place I looked hoping I could download the DVD install straight from there in 20 minutes? Is it because this is either frowned upon or just straight up wrong? Does anyone have any suggestions about the right way to go with this? Thanks for reading people.

OT: procmail recipe question
by James Pifer 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

I'm trying to use procmail and I'm having trouble getting it to set some headers. I have one mailing list that sets Newsgroups: in the header and I want to remove it. I have the following test recipe: :0 * ^Subject:.*\<testing * ^(Mime-Version:|Content-) | formail -IMime-Version: -IContent- If I understand it correctly, it should remove the Mime-Verion and Content headers. The recipe gets matched but then doesn't deliver correctly: procmail: Match on "^Subject:.*\<testing" procmail: Match on "^(Mime-Version:|Content-)" procmail: Executing "formail,-IMime-Version:,-IContent-" procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=formail -IMime-Version: -IContent-" procmail: Notified comsat: "test@:/home/jep/formail -IMime-Version: -IContent-" >From jep(a)obrien-pifer.com Mon Feb 2 11:43:03 2009 Subject: testing Folder: formail -IMime-Version: -IContent- 1010 It looks like it's trying to put it in a folder starting with formail. I tried putting the mail file on the next line (/var/mail/test), which is the same way I do it on my kid's procmailrc's, but it seems to ignore it. Where does procmail get the LASTFOLDER thing from? Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, James
