I was only making a point regarding this last post as to why someone
might want to have Linux power down their system as part of the shutdown
command. Please don't inundate me with with links to the UPS-HOWTO. I
have already hooked up several systems to APC UPS's using homemade
signaling cables and and software sited in the UPS-HOWTO.
The original poster mentioned something about having Linux power down
their system via software shutdown as this is apparently something that
an ATX motherboard supports. Apparently Win9x and NT already support
this while Linux perhaps doesn't? I think this is more of an issue
regarding APM support/configuration rather than UPS's.
