car@trux.UUCP (Chris Rende) (07/29/89)
I have a Nixdorf Targon/35-M50 running TOS.3.2 which I'm told is
a Pyramid 9810 running OSX 4.0. My background is with System V Release 2.
I'm running the System V INIT.
Two powerfails this week has brought the following question into view:
How does this machine handle a power failure?
I have the following line in my /etc/rc file:
pf::powerfail:/etc/powerfail 1>/dev/console 2>&1 #power fail routines
However, my Unix release does not include the /etc/powerfail file.
Does the machine support power failure detection and pass a signal
up to Unix?
Is it safe to sync the disks in /etc/powerfail?
car.
