If you intend to do an unattended shutdown and want a server-based solution, the Best UPS is not the route to go (unless you intend to write your own VAP or NLM :-). You can write one, the Best UPSs do come with great documentation to explain what codes the UPS sends out. Bob -- Bob Kusumoto | Find the electric messiah!
