On my single home computer I just installed a newer model UPS with a DB9 connection for communication with the computer. Missing a DB9 connector on the machine I have connected the two with a DB9->USB cable. Looking through the openSUSE software I only discovered NUT, described as network UPS control. Nothing with a GUI and nothing for a single user. And no information at first site about the possibility to axiomatically to shutdown my machine. Before I start with some software which will perhaps not be the best choice I would like to get info from the list members about their favorite UPS product.
There are really only two choices, NUT, http://www.networkupstools.org/ and apcupsd http://www.apcupsd.org/ You might find a proprietary version on some high end UPS systems. I've used acpupsd in the past, but don't use it on my current system.
