[kwlug-disc] (question) Which UPS to buy?

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

Another happy APC BackUPS user here.

It has been performing well to backup the server, router, switches, ...etc.
for many many years.

The Ubuntu repository has the package apcupsd which interfaces to APC UPSs
and can email you when power goes out (and comes back), and power down the
server if remaining time is 3 minutes, or battery is 5% (values
configurable of course).

There is also a command line utility to access the UPS and display its
status.

All this installable via aptitude et al, no compiling, ...etc.
