NUT = Network UPS Tools
http://www.networkupstools.org/
Check the compatibility list. Even better, check the compatibility list 
for the version that is available in an OpenBSD package. The list will 
be in /usr/local/share/ups/driver.list after the package is installed.

 My power requirements are very small.  The server is running an Athlon
 xp 2000+ with 2 HDDs in raid 1 (no screen).  And that's the only thing
 that will be attached to the UPS.

  i got an APC 'Smart-UPS 2200 RM' offa ebay for like $500 after shipping,
  new battery.

  got ahold of a serial cable for it, and am using nut to watch
  the status just fine.

  on-battery-oh-crap powerdowns work dandy for it and the machines and
  random things that're hooked to it.

  last i remember i'm sucking about 350-400 W [1] at any given time off the
  UPS, and it lasts about 25-35 minutes after a power off situation, with
  everything staying powered on.

  if i drop everything except for the VIA and its dsl modem, it lasts a
  hell of a lot longer ( i think i saw it last just about 2h or so the
  one time i did that )

- Fresh install of 4.1 (as soon as my copy gets here)
- I Will probably be using nut to shutdown the server.

I'm trying to find something that won't require too much
configs/poking around.  I'm not looking for something fancy either, I
just need enough juice to shutdown the server properly when the
electricity goes out.


What are your power requirements? Just a single server? How big of a
system are we talking about? ...mainframe, onyx, or a single opteron?
