This is a hideous combination of systems needed to send these emails because of the compatibility problem… the UPS software calls a batch file. That uses WGET to call a PHP script on an intranet server which sends the email. Then a rule on my mail account forwards it to SMS.

Seriously.

Luckily the main purpose of the UPS is to guard against some idiot unplugging the server (has happenned) the fact that in a power cut you’re relying on half a dozen other servers having their UPS devices working to get the alerts out isn’t too big an issue.

This sounds a bit like a security system i’m fitting the house, which will email/text me if movement is found, once its all setup. ( i only hope it works)

Comment on Vista Simulator by Phil Emerson

I find it mildy amusing that since I’ve been playing World of Warcraft, I have not bought a single game for my PC. Games for my PCs were the only reason I ever upgraded my PC (my graphics software runs very nicely thankyou). My last upgrade was powered by the desire to run Oblivion at full spec.

Anyway – here’s the amusing bit. Microsoft thought that they could ‘persuade’ (read, “bully”) me into upgrading to Vista by denying me DX10 if I stick with XP. Oh no… no more new games for my PC if they need DX10… oh wait, I play WoW now, so who cares? Ha ha ha, up yours Microsoft. I bet you wish you were Blizzard right now, don’t you?

And then people ask me why I pay for everything in cash? The more I know about computers the less I trust them… or the people that use them.
