We are using a APC SmartUPS to power a cabinet of 10 computers in the event of a power failure. One of the machines is running FreeBSD and a ups-daemon. If the power is lost, the upsdaemon runs a script, which will send an alarm to a pager. Works well, I recommend this solution. An interesting side-effect was that this daemon logs at lot of statistics from the ups, so we found out that the temperature rises at night in the computer room. /Jakob Alvermark ------------------------------------------------------- Teligent AB, P.O.
