pity. but that had nothing to do with the rs/6000, oracle, or even (sigh) aix. for an rs/6000 you should be able to get a ups for <$3k that can provide for an orderly shutdown of the system. thats what i was pointing out. not that you could spend mondo bucks trying to keep the system *up*. that is already a given.
