My otions are Back-UPS and SmartUPS (around 500 VA). I just need unattnded shutdown of my FreeBSD box when the UPS has consumed most of the battery power and only has enough power left for the next 5 minutes or so. No bells and whistles needed (ie: monitoring events), just efficient and failure-proof shutdown with one of the daemons available in the ports tree. In other words, I just want maximum reliability with minimum costs ;P. The question is: which UPS to buy? ______________________________________________________________________ Do you want a free e-mail for life ?
