Can you suggest an ups with a software for automatic shutdown for my
debian servers?
I have just installed a Back-UPS LS 500.
Debian package apcupsd supports that out of the box.
That's sort of a bottom of the line UPS, I think, but with the PC,
monitor, modem plugged into the battery outlets I have 11 minutes of
battery runtime, a load of 62%.
If I blank the monitor the battery runtime goes up to 20 mins.
It will shutdown the system via apcupsd if batterytime is exhausted and
restart when the power returns.
I have an unresolved issue about the restart. Because apcupsd uses
shutdown -h now and not shutdown -r now, when power returns on my mobo
it will just sit there and not show the lilo boot screen and restart
things. But I may not have that researched just right.
