Does powerchute handle a network setup yet? As in the UPS is connected to
several machines but only to one machine via serial port, can powerchute
notify the other machines to shutdown when the UPS hits low battery?
I've been using NUT (Network UPS Tools) to do this and am very happy with
the results. </plug> That and NUT supports more than just APC and is GPL.
