i did that, but it didn't seem to be all that was needed.
i got 'round to "telinit 1" and then falling through back to
runlevel 2 and all is well. (uptime is still there. whew! :)

you bet. it's a clunky-looking monster, but it occupies an
appropriate spot in the basement for just such a beast.

my secondary system wasn't on the ups circuit, and all i could
get was 60 days or so before a storm would knock out power for a
half-second brownout. zap! uptime all gone.

now all my significant computing is ups'd. (any noun -- even
acronyms -- can be verbed if you know how to munge the lingo
properly...) but i to switch off power to the monitors when
expecting to be away for any length of time...

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #21 from Will Trillich <will@serensoft.com> 
:
Looking to configure your Debian NETWORK SETTINGS? Look at the
file /etc/network/interfaces (try "man interfaces" for more
info). Then "ifup -a" to reload your settings, and "ifconfig" to
display them. (Also check out "apt-get install ipmasq"!)
