Re: What is the suse linux equivalent of QUPSDLYTIM?

For the equivalent of QUPSDLYTIM on suse linux be sure to look at the file
/etc/rc.powerfail
In there you will see a section like:
#
# long_warning()
#
# This function is called in response to a 10-minute warning. The default
# response is to check for status updates every 5 seconds. If the status
# does not improve within 8 minutes, the system will be shut down. If the
# status worsens, the system will be shut down immediately. This routine
# can be modified to send e-mail messages or pages.
#
long_warning()
{
time=480 # seconds until shutdown begins (8
minutes)

Be aware, there are a lot of screen messages and whatnot in this file
which echo back stuff like:

6) # secondary fan failure
notify \
"A secondary fan has experienced a failure." \
"The system will begin shutting down in 8 minutes if
the problem is not remedied."
long_warning
or

7) # battery backup
notify \
"The system has switched to battery backup." \
"The system will begin shutting down in 8 minutes if
the problem is not remedied."
long_warning
