I must be to used to other Unix systems where inetd must be restarted.. on Solaris, and AIX any changes to the /etc/services or /etc/inetd.conf required a reboot.. restarting inetd never worked, or if it did telnet sessions start to flake out.. from what I am hearing Linux uses FM where inetd is concerned.. it has never recognized any of my changes automagically.. thou it usually does a better job at when restarted than AIX, and Solaris, I have still had times where rebooting was the only solution..

ah yes Mother Nature the number 2 enemy of Linux (NT = #1)

okay.. well then someone suggest me a good UPS with ALL of the following criteria:
1) must work with both NT and Linux, in the event that I ever boot to NT again (rare but those damm word files make me do it) not reading then writing them.. 2) easy to configure under both Linux and NT 3) 10 to 15 minutes reserve power .. my power just flashes occasionally, but has gone out for several hours 4) if power goes out the system must know that power is gone and shut itself down (apmd? or some dameon) 5) must be SMP friendly (shouldn't make a difference) 6) around $100..
