Re: What BackUPS?
> Finally the question, what BackUPS do you use that Debian interacts with.
I have configured many APC UPS with Debian, just use the serial cable to
conect the UPS to the server and the apcd package to monitor it.
I remember that the server also booted up automagically once the electricity
came back, I don't remember the details (if it was because it did a "suspend"
instead of a shutdown), but it was very useful because most servers were in
remote locations (nobody there to push the button).

By the way, how many years is expected a UPS to last? the one I have is now 4
years old, it works ok, but I don't know if it would be a good idea to buy a
new one "just to be safe".
