If you get one smart ups (one that can tell your host about the batteries) then run a network based ups monitoring tool such as nut you can add dumb upses (much cheaper) to other hosts and have them query the power status from the host connected to the smart ups over the network. My wifes computer is plugged into a $25 300 watt ups, and it does down gracefully because it is asking the server every 5 seconds what the power status is. schu _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
