From: Conrad Sabatier To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Smart UPS -- any experts out there? Cc: dbaker@neosoft.com Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm seriously considering buying a UPS, as the power in my area seems to be prone to occasional "blinks" of a second or two. Someone mentioned getting a "smart" UPS that I could interface to FreeBSD to, for instance, perform an automatic clean shutdown on power failure. Any advice, opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
