PowerChute network shutdown on iMac
I have unsuccesfully tried to install PowerChute network shutdown for Apc UPS on iMac. PowerChute network shutdown is reported to be compatible with Mac OS X Server 10.6.2 while the iMac has OS X 10.6.2, which is potentially different.
After some investigation I have found at least a majour problem: all the shell scripts which are installed contain carriage returns, showed as ^m, and it is a known issue they cannot work till carriage return are not removed. I seriously doubt OS X Server and OS X for iMac differ in the way they deal carriage returns into script files, so I cannot see how PowerChute network shutdown can work with the Mac OS X Server 10.6.2. Anyone has tried this APC product with Apple computers ? And with iMac ? Do I have to correct all script files if I want a chance to make it work ?
Thanks
