Ok, here's my question for the UPS FAQ:

I want to have an hour's worth of UPS capacity.  If the
power goes down, I don't want anything to happen for 45
minutes, then, IF THE POWER HASN'T COME BACK ON, I want to
start shutting down.  If the power has come back on, I want
it to be transparent to the computer.

Do any commercial UPS hardware/software packages support
this mode?
