Thanks, I hadn't realised nothing had been done with it for ages, I decided to have a go with nut anyhow as I need to make two or three machines run off this ups and shutdown correctly. Seems to be working so far i.e. all machines getting warnings about line power failing. Do you have any suggestions as to other packages that would allow me to run multiple machines off one ups and have them all know about line fails and shutdown on low battery?
