I'd like to know if anybody has had a similar problem and if so, they think that excess heat might be my problem.
This morning I received the following email message from my test server
Communications with UPS UPS@localhost lost
followed by this email every 5 minutes
UPS UPS@localhost is unavailable
When I went to the room where the server, and a bunch of other equipment, is located I found that it was 32 degrees C. The APC website says up to 40C. I rebooted everything and opened the door to the room.
My next emails were one right after the other;
Communications with UPS UPS@localhost established
and then
Communications with UPS UPS@localhost lost
However, it did not repeat itself.
I log in as root and run the following code and get the following answer, so everything looks ok.
