Hmm. I don't want to use my computer as a voltmeter, nor as a line

shut down when a power failure occurs.
I'd also like to know that the cable hasn't fallen out or broken and
the system is still talking end to end.
I suppose you can get the same effect (and have an ever better end-end
test) by hooking up a dumb UPS to a one-month 110v timer where you
turn off the UPS power for 15 minutes and check to see if the computer
does shut down gracefully and reboots automatically as expected.

I will say for a fact the my APC UPS will shut down my computer
gracefully. It happened the other night while I was working. The
batteries are waiting for replacements so there was not much life in
them. But the system went into a full shutdown when the power dropped.
This is running apcupsd. I am happy.
