+==== Check NFS Mounts ====
+After the last power outage, the NWN servers were not speaking as I hadn't mounted the NFS mounts which share the drives to one another.  So, it occurred to me to write a little script to test if the NFS directories were mounted (and if not, go ahead and try and mount them).
+NOTE:  I moved this to hourly so it will reconnect after a power off / reboot in a more reasonable time.
+**/etc/cron.hourly/check_nfs_mounts.sh**:
+<code bash>
+#!/bin/bash
+#
+# check_nfs_mounts.sh
+# quick check if we have our NFS directories mounted... if not... mount them!

+===== apcupsd =====
+I am sharing the UPS with sage, so that was the easiest to install and get running (RPM package).  I am going to install the software on here also, as this one runs on the same UPS.
+  - Download and install the software (here is the current link:  [[http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/apcupsd/apcupsd-3.14.4.tar.gz]] <code>
+cd /usr/local/src/apcupsd
+./configure
+make
+make install
+</code>
+  - Edit the config file, the only changes I made were:  (I made this one come down first since it is a slave to the actual machine monitoring the UPS, so I raised the battery level to 10 and the time left to 5 minutes) <code>
+UPSTYPE net
+DEVICE 10.0.0.2
+BATTERYLEVEL 10
+MINUTES 5
+</code>
+  - Modified **/etc/rc.d/rc.local** to fire up the APC daemon on boot:  <code>
+# apc ups monitoring daemon
+echo 'Firing up apcupsd to monitor the UPS'
+/sbin/apcupsd
+</code>
+And I tested it with a simple **apcaccess** call, which gives you the status of the UPS and that looks right.  I have NOT tested whether powering down the UPS really will shut everything down... maybe some other day.

 ==== Version 7.0 ====
+Installed 2008/04/26 - dlr - latest version installed since the old one stopped working after I rebooted?!  (PERL upgrade probably)
 Looks like it was getting confused with the old version that was already installed... so I moved all of the files that mentioned 'slim' into ~/slimserverStuff to get it out of the normal path.
