We may need to > port this; is the code publicly available? The fortress comes with three versions of the software. Basic for SVR5, Advanced for SVR4, and Basic for BSD. The Basic software does little more than shut down the computer, and the advanced version has options for monitoring battery condition, etc. The basic version for BSD (checkups.bsd) once renamed to checkups.c, compiles with one warning with the command "cc checkups.c -lcompat" on my 2.2.2 system, though I haven't actually tried running it yet. The comments say that it works for SunOS/Solaris. And unfortunately, the program is considered proprietary, so I don't think we could roll a port.
