UPS tripplite poweralert

[brain salad surgery]

hi,

just a word to say that i successfully installed
poweralert, a software developped by tripp-lite
for their UPS management.

They had only a redhat version that you can
download for free on their site. It is a bin
file using java.

I used the version 12 and i had to install sun-jre-bin
so that the installation process detect a suitable vm.
The rest of the process went fine.
Some scripts are then installed in /opt/TrippLite.
The most important is:

pa start|stop|status

that you can add to your init scripts or in /etc/conf/local.start

pa start gave at first an error since it was
searching for libcrypto.so.4 (from openssl)
which is named libcrypto.so.0 under gentoo.
Here's what i did:

ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.4

you must also have emerged libelf

a nice frontend can be starting using
pa console
