<div>hi Arnaud,<br> </div>
<div>Thanks for your reply. I'm actually not </div>
<div>too worried about this, since (almost) </div>
<div>anyone who can log in to our server </div>
<div>needs to be physically here to do it. </div>
<div>So, they can just press the power button </div>
<div>if they really want to.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>One of the bosses kids switched off power to the </div>
<div>UPS (and server) a few weeks ago.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>That's when we realized that:-</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1: The battery in the UPS was dead.</div>
<div>2: Nobody had ever installed monitoring software.</div>
<div>3: There are too many idiots in the world.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Items 1 and 2 have been rectified.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>> simply try to launch upsdrvctl start and you will see</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Are you saying that an unprivileged user </div>
<div>cannot execute upsdrvctl shutdown ?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>That's not easy for me to test without </div>
<div>talking some small risk :)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>But I'll try out some of upsdrvctl's other </div>
<div>commands later as a non root user </div>
<div>and see what happens.. Thanks again :)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Steve.</div>
