List members! I am looking for a program that will work with my (Liebert) dumb UPS that will perform an orderly shutdown of my computer by power fail, and turn it back on again when power returns. I have spent some time with the bkpupsd program, and found that it turns the UPS off at the same time it calls shutdown. Thus shutdown does not get time to sync discs etc.. This renders bkpupsd useless for machines with both latching (AT) and soft (ATX) power switches. I have found the mgeupsd and upsd programs in the ports collection. Does anyone have any experience with these programs? Are there any other programs I may use? After some modification?
