On the note of using a UPS... I want to get a UPS connected to my mandrake server at home, but there's a dillema. I want to know how you folks handle this.
As it stands, the power goes out, server goes down. Power comes on, server comes back on. For the record, this is a Celeron 500 system. Add a UPS into the mix, and I guess I would want it to wait a minute or two in case power comes back, then tell the server to shutdown safely. But, then what happens when the power comes back on? I'd be happy to wire the power switch on the computer to the UPS, but is that possible/reasonable? I don't want the power to come on while the server stays off until someone gets around to turning it back on. How should I handle this? Thanks!
