The sudden explicative that I blurt out when the municipal power grid blips. (Yeah, right.) Aside from all the pesky clocks that insist on being reset a momentary power blip also reminds you of which systems are plugged into the UPS ... and which are not. Oh My!
True to form, I had to move old monitors and then old systems to access the wire "trough". Then it was pull this wire, and try to watch where in the spaghetti trough my wall wart tail goes. Thats when I discovered that the lappies with all their EOL batteries were still capable of covering the blip.
Ironically, Xymon, the network monitoring system, reports the victim ... as the Xymon server. My poor lil' Pi. I had forgotten to move it to the UPS. D'oh!
