Hi all,
I plan to upgrade some servers running good old RH7.2/7.3.
Some of these machines' got UPS an I use nut to monitor them. I was very surprised to see that nut isn't included in RHEL 4.x (quite weird for an enterprise class distro).
Is there any program I may use as a replacement for nut ? Or do I have to compile it by myself (I saw a nut SRPM was available for Fedora Core 4 so I guess it won't be hard to adapt it to CentOS 4.x).
Thanks for your replies.
Gilles.

I took the Fedora devel src rpm and simply built it. So far it WORKSFORME.

OK, that's what I thought was the better thing to do :)
Thanks for your reply. Regards.

Thanks for your replies.
While it doesn't directly relate to nut, I've found that apcupsd in dag's repository is excellent for ups monitoring. It's simple to set up, and is amazingly easy to use.

I'll second your recommendation of apcupsd. I use it on my home network in my basement.
I have the apcupsd master connected via serial cable. There are three three client apcupsd machines and a switch plugged into the UPS as well. If the power goes out for too long the master sends shutdown commands to the clients.
Works perfectly.

Well, thanks for telling me about apcupsd but, finally, I took the nut-2.0.2 SRPM in the Rawhide tree and rebuilt it against CentOS4 and it works perfectly :).
Thanks. Gilles.
