We are shopping for a UPS for our file server.  By some incredible good
fortune, we usually have problems when nobodies around.  This means that
battery backup will only prolong the inevitable.  In the Novell word there
are UPSs that can tell an attached unit that they are in operation and
that x amount of time is left.  This allows an orderly shutdown.

Are there similair capabilities in the Unix/SunOS world?

Thanks in Advance
