any goof ups like this?

This thread reminded me of a couple of screwups made by an operator in my old job. The ops used to run OS backups through a script which asked for the path to the tape (/dev/rmt/whatnot). We (the sysadmins) would give these to the ops if a new server was added or the h/w path changed. One Sunday...

netxml-ups

NETXML-UPS(8)							    NUT Manual							     NETXML-UPS(8)

NAME

       netxml-ups - Driver for Eaton / MGE Network Management Card / Proxy (XML/HTTP Protocol) equipment

NOTE

       This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the netxml-ups driver. For information about the core driver, see
       nutupsdrv(8).

SUPPORTED HARDWARE

       netxml-ups support all recent Eaton / MGE models which use a Network Management Card or Proxy (MGE XML/HTTP protocol based). This applies
       to both Eaton (previously MGE Office Protection Systems) and to MGE UPS SYSTEMS. Supported card and proxy models are:

       o   NMC Minislot (Ref 66102, firmware EA or newer),

       o   SNMP/Web Minislot card (Ref 66244)

       o   NMC Transverse (Ref 66074),

       o   NMC & Modbus/JBus (Ref 66103),

       o   Network Management Proxy,

       o   ePDU Monitored (newer version).

       Older models, such as SNMP card (Ref 66062 and Ref 66045), use the SNMP protocol and should use the snmp-ups(8) driver with the "mibs=mge"
       parameter.

EXTRA ARGUMENTS

       This driver supports the following optional settings in the ups.conf(5):

       timeout=value
	   The timeout for connecting to and reading from the UPS. Defaults to 5 seconds. Don't change this value unless you know exactly what
	   you're doing.

       This value must never be higher than half the MAXAGE value specified in upsd.conf(5), otherwise you run the risk that upsd(8) declares the
       driver stale while it is waiting for a connection to timeout.

       login=value
	   Set the login value for authenticated mode. This feature also needs the password argument, and allows value settings in the card. This
	   feature is not used yet.

       password=value
	   Set the password value, needed with the login for authenticated mode. This feature is not used yet.

IMPLEMENTATION

       The hostname of the UPS is specified with the "port" value in ups.conf, i.e.:

	   [mgexml]
		   driver = netxml-ups
		   port = http://netxml-ups.example.com:80

       Specifying the method to connect to the UPS (http, https) is mandatory. If the port is equal to the default for the method specified (80
       for http, 443 for https) it may be omitted.

       In order not to overload older NMCs by polling them too frequently, it is recommended to increase the "pollinterval" (see nutupsdrv(8)) and
       ups.conf(5)) to at least 5 seconds.

KNOWN ISSUES

       Don't connect to the UPS through a proxy. Although it would be trivial to add support for proxies, this is not recommended and don't ask
       for it. Not only because it will prevent the driver to make a persistent connection to the UPS, but also it adds an additional failure
       mode. If the proxy goes down (for whatever reason), the driver will no longer be able to reach the UPS.
