Hi there, well the mail server took power hits over the weekend and it's taken 6 hours to get it working again...... so I'm going to buy an UPS to protect the servers (yeh, I should have done it before, but this is a small company)

I'm thinking of buying an APC Smart-UPS 1000VA, it's the correct rating based on APC's neat sizing software on their website.

Problem is: NO Linux software and I want the servers to shutdown before the UPS does!!

Any thoughts / recommendations - other options are Fortress or Patriot Pro

thanks, Graham

-- APC UPSes do indeed have Linux software available...Powerchute I believe is tha name...released for Linux last fall, thus making APC UPSes a major plus in the world of Linux.
