You might want to check out the APC site at, www.apc.com as they recently
released a program for auto shutdown and I think it might even be free in
both senses of the term. Not sure it would matter what UPS you are using.
I think its called Power Chute or something. Also if you are running any
*nix OS w/ Apache they have a prog. that watches the power on those systems
and can do a safe shutdown.
