Sounds like you're performing maintenance on your servers
(a) too often
(b) during office / peak hours
I can't help it when the primary name server goes down because the UPS
fails the self test and tells the server it has 2 minutes or so left in
wich case the server figures it needs to shut down. I wanted better UPSs

Change that. Are you using apcupsd? You can set the config from
SHUTDOWN=/sbin/shutdown to /bin/false. Then, the next time you see the
UPS, change the battery. If it's just started to complain, it's not dead
yet!
Works for me with all of our mostly APC SmartUPS 3000 rackmounts.
I don't remember which UPS it was, either the crappy one for which a
replacement battery was already waiting to be put in, or the normal one
that already had a new battery in it which is either broken or doesn't
get charged ...
That's how I rather have not everything go dark even when Murphy comes
along. I have generally deprecated all non-rackmount UPSs, and being
able to change batteries without outage has become a requirement.
