FreeBSD and UPS

[bsd]

Yes !

There is a very good soft called apcupsd.

I am working in Angola and have had a lot of problems with  
electricity // until I have discovered this soft.
It works perfectly with the apc network card (It came as an option on  
my APC 1500).

I have setup apcupsd to use snmp (this seems to be the most stable use).


I was very surprised because the soft did shutdown the server  
automatically when the UPS went out of battery… and I had not tested  
that (lack of time).
So the soft even went beyond my expectations…
