Re: APC ups question
APC has a software package called PowerChute that will do the trick. I think that's what you're going to need.

Solution(finally. stupid slow server...)
anyway, I am running 11.0, and have a different model, but I am running the powerchute software. unlike the windows version, the unix version you have to buy (like $100 or so). you need the black cable on the ups. it is nice cause you can set up shutdown times, etc and have it send commands once on battery (like umount, etc). We had for a while our NT server also on it, as a secondary box, but control was with the unix server. the downside was that I don't think it can send commands to the NT, but I won't swear to it. You might actually need to call APC about the software; I had to dig to find it a few years ago.

Re: APC ups question
You might want to verify that with the APC guy.
If you want to use the logging and administration features you will need a GUI, but you should be able to access files and set up your system's shut down time command line.
I'm assuming your server has no graphics, but you should also be able to export the DISPLAY to any workstation you might use with graphics And use the admin features there. They're pretty neat.
I have 3 APC's and I was bent when I found out that you had to purchase $110 software for HP-UX. All the literature said HP-UX was supported not optional. APC tech support told me my "serial cable" was my license and that I could install on more than one system, so it would stand to reason you could as well. Just call them up and act "bent". ;)
I personally, think that APC makes a really nice UPS. If you can use it, I recommend them.
Good luck,
Kel

Re: APC ups question
Why don't you just run X Windows?

Re: APC ups question
As for X Windows, PowerChute also has a web interface. I access and manage it from my browser.
As long as your UPS has a Management card in it with a network interface you do not need to directly connect the UPS to the server. If it is on the same network with your host it can communicated. If you have host that is on two networks, the host can relay from the UPS to hosts on another network. It's slick.
