It's not the fanciest, but using upsd with it allows a controlled shutdown in the event of a power loss. Nice... how long's it last you I'm looking for something that'll last a good 10 minutes before it starts getting to the danger point, running both a dual-processor mboard (with a full-height 5.25" SCSI drive) and a 15" monitor John

There's nothing else plugged into the battery backup sockets, but the monitor, speakers, etc are plugged into the surge protection portion. Kewl. I think I'm going to have to dig up one of those puppies! :-) Thanks for the heads-up! :-) John

[newbie] System shutdown using CyberPower UPS is working
After downloading, installing and modifying the genpower software, I now have my CyberPower Power99 UPS shutting down the system automatically after a power failure. If anyone else has one of these UPS's and wants to know how to get this working, let me know. I can send you the modified files. This newbie is appreciative of all that I have learned from others on this list and wish to give back something. Also, someone asked me to let them know if I got this working, but I don't remember who it was.

I think they also have one that's approx 500VA that costs a bit more. -- Scott Miller Using Linux Mandrake Operating System Take a look at http://www.linux-mandrake.com
