Hello again;
Is there software for ups auto shutdown and restart for use
with a ups
system that has the capacity; I.E. a serial connection and
references
in the manual to software (for Windows mostly) download? Currently
I have a Vesta Pro 600 unit. I had one made by Minuteman
that crapped
out on me last night. It had been doing ok and was a
replacement for one
made by Tripp Lite, which also failed permanently. I am
running one desk
top FreeBSD system, headless but with high speed SCSI
drives in addition
to the boot drive. I am away during the week for at least 8
- 9 hours
during
the week and cant be there if the power goes down to shut the system
down before the ups exhausts its battery.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Sounds like quite the varied selection of hardware.
I am sure there are people here with experience
in this area, but as a starter, look at:

on=sysutils
and perhaps:

Network UPS tools in the ports tree can do this...

cd /usr/ports
make search key="network ups"

will find the main port and the optional addons.
