I run four to six computers (four PCs, a laptop occasionally, and an EeePC occasionally) from three APC UPSs. I always install nut (rather than apcupsd, because of praise on some LUG list); and my latest UPS, I think it was, did come with a funny-looking cable, meant I understand precisely for connecting it to a PC that can monitor it. But I've never gotten around to figuring out what to do to link it all up. (Btw, there's one more PC, with its own APC UPS, on the LAN; it sits downstairs on my wife's desk.) I'm old and slow and busy; I can live (and have been living <sigh>) with jumping up whenever a UPS keeps on screeching, to go from machine to machine shutting down, and then from UPS to UPS turning them off. I can live with that, I say, rather than face a big learning curve; but if (big IF?) there's a site somewhere with a recipe leading subtechnoids through configuring such a setup, I suppose I ought to try it.
