How about these: /usr/ports/sysutils/upds upsd is a daemon with flexible configuration which lets you to shutdown your system properly when source power line fails and measure its frequency, voltage etc /usr/ports/sysutils/bkpupsd This is a simple uninterruptible power source (UPS) daemon which supports APC Back-UPS Pro(TM) series. The UPSd works as UPS driver, sensing line-failures, shutting down the system cleanly, and finally shutting down the UPS itself. This UPSd provides only the "dumb mode", and the advanced features are not supported. -- Christopher Farley www.northernbrewer.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
