[Linux-HA] STONITH smart-ups 1500I

[Etienne van Tonder]

Hi Alan,

I've had a look at nut and it certainly allows for my configuration.

Before I try it won't I face the same problem with the port being locked by
stonith. Nut still has to communicate with  the UPS to determine if a power
failure has occurred the same as apcupds.

Regards,

Etienne.
