Thanks...
This might not be much help (depends upon what brand of UPS you've got)
but I always use apcupsd with a USB connected APC UPS. It's easy to set
up and "just works".

I concur, mine just works as above. All the files you mention in
/etc/ups are empty in my installation. The help files are out of date
but if you go to: > http://www.apcupsd.com/manual/index.html
It is a good resource for setting up a UPS. Good luck.
Peter
There may be some problems if there is a USB based UPS involved. Check
with the apcupsd mailing list archives for more information. One thing
I noticed here in one install recently was that the USB bus terminated
before the "apcupsd --killpower" command got executed. Of course, This
Will Never Do.
