You are right, but this software needs to be manually run for the end user to find out what is happening. What I really want of course is for a visual window to popup whenever there are A/C problems, and whenever the A/C has lost power and the UPS battery is getting low.
It is part of apcupsd. I will look at it and see if I can get it going in CentOS 4.4. Thanks for reminding me of it.
I haven't bothered to play with apcupsd just because I don't need to worry about my power where my boxes live, but on the software note, I tend to find far more usefull to have linux software do something intelligent like send me an email when there's a problem so I can just forward that to my cell phone, and end up notified and able to react wherever I happen to be. I don't even see popups on the screen of my workstation, much less anything I might need a UPS on. Why would I want windows software behavior under Linux?
