Currently, I do just let it die, and its not really a problem. But it would be nice to know when a power loss has occured. I'd like to create a system event that would even email the logs so that I knew what the current state of the machine was. Again, yea, its trivial, the power comes back up, and so does the system (old AT power supplies, gotta love'em) but it would be nice to know.
I plan to do some reading on the UPS stuff for any other linux distro, I'm sure that the Bering implementation couldn't vary to far.

If your bering machine is booting off some kind of read-only media (cdrom or a write-protected floppy, for example) then there is no reason to do a clean shutdown. You can just let the UPS die. I don't know what your setup is like or if it is possible for you to use read-only media. If it is, that might be a better way to go. -Mark Ivey- On Sun, 2004-03-14 at 07:15, Joey Officer wrote: > Has anyone configured the Bering system to acknowledge when a UPS has become > active, and wether or not to initiate a shutdown properly, or to cancel a > shutdown? > > I recently purchased a Belkin UPS (holiday special) that I've got plugged > in, and it was nice enough to come with a serial cable, for us with the > provided software (windows), but I'd like it setup for my bering box, cable > modem, the switch, and my cisco ata (voip terminal).
