use upsd in the ports collection; ofcourse you are going to need a serial cable to connect your machine serial port to the UPS serial interface and it will do auto-shutdown. You can make the cable yourself from a DB9 serial cable and I posted a question to this list about 8 - 9 months ago and got info. about the pinouts on the cable, search this mailing list you'll probably find it. mine works fine (APC smart UPS 1000RM).
