Nope - although this is exactly what I thought. > > I do not have a jre or jdk installed seperaltely on my machine according > to rpm -qa|grep jre and rpm -qa|grep jdk (except in the browser stuff > and no swing there) so I can't really tell what it looks like. > > do you have a jre installed and if so what version? what is your > CLASSPATH set to? > > I guess you could go to the source at: > > http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/index.html > > > Of course this may all be changed now. but at least it will give you > something to think about.

I actually got a call from APC Australia this morning telling me to install the latest Java. I have jre 1.2. I suppose I need jre 2. However, I do not REALLY like the way the Business Edition seems to work (Agent + Server Monitor + Clients), as I would need to run the agent on my Linux box, then the server module AND the client module on my XP PC just to get this information/shutdown capabilities. I thought it was my only choice, but as the other poster kindly pointed out, apcupsd may be a better choice. From what I can tell from the documentation, this allows a master/slave configuration. I will try this package FIRST. If I still run into troubles, I may look at pbe again. However I really do appreciate your comments. You've confirmed what I thought. You're right on the money.
