Wouldn't it be great if before your UPS died your EFW would:

  • realize there was no electricity,
  • send out an alert that the server might be going down,
  • then a  minutes later if the juice doesn't come back, send out an alert that the server IS going down now, and then
  • shut itself down properly without causing system-file damage?

Then when the electricity comes back on you could use the BIOS' wake-on-LAN feature to get the box started up again.

Actually, this was working in v2.1.2 using a third-party mod Shocked , but in v2.2 and later, I read today on Facebook that:

  • the kernels stopped supporting HIDDEV devices (not enabled in the kernel build) which are needed by apcupsd to talk to the UPS, and that
  • the kernel sources now provided by the EFW folks are no longer complete and therefore won't build,so that means that
  • no one will be able to build it with HIDDEV enabled. Cry

I thought the definition of open-source was that the source code was OPEN to be able to build your own kernels and things like this. Am I misinformed? Huh
