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. What make & model of UPS?
Its is a : (Emerson) Liebert PSA itON UPS. PS 600-TN, 600Va/360W On the product page they seem to use the Viewpower-Linux software. Found no details up to now about the lay out from the DE9 cable :) Know from experience that DE9 to USB does not always work as hoped.
BTW, there's no such thing as a DB9 connector. It's a DE9. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-subminiature
Liked the DE9 discussion.
