Most APC switches can be telneted into.  Perhaps you can use expect to
login and reset an outlet through the telnet interface.

Subject: [Nagios-users] advanced event handlers


I am interested in doing some low level trouble resolution with event
handlers.

More specifically, today my cable modem crapped out and it needed to be
power cycled.  So I am interested in using nagios pings to figure out
where the problem is and start rebooting things.  I can easily reboot
the firewall as it's running linux.  But the cable modem is going to be
tougher.  I don't think there is a way I can remote to it and power
cycle.  So.......

Using something like X10 to bouce an outlet.  We have APC master
switches here at work and I have just started thinking about writing
some php code to bounce a switch if I need, but does anybody know how
this might be accomplished on the cheap???

Thanks!
Andy
