Thanks for the clarification. This explains the zero-length executable
files with different time stamps.
As for FreeBSD and UPSes, I have run FreeBSD for 18+ years backed
up by a variety of UPSes, and all UPSes that I have used would take
over as soon as power drops (or as soon as I yanked the power chord
for testing).
The only time this did not work was when I had plugged the computer
into an UPS outlet that had surge protection only, no power backup.
