Re: [hlds_linux] Steam down
UPS equipment has a limited uptime. Depending on the amount of servers connected on the UPS. Yes, it would keep the servers online a bit longer, but can you tell the storm to lie down within that period? Is your server on an UPS? (ofcourse you will say yes, cause we can't verify it. But i'll bet that most of the serveradmins here don't have an UPS running. Neither do we). These are things that could happen to everybody.
