[MLUG] UPS (was 486SX lease on life?)

["Ross, Matt" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Do these power down at the first sign of trouble, or just when the battery
gets low?  My intention was to have a power source that kept the server
running when the power goes out for a second or two.  Beyond that, I'd like
to have it shut down gracefully before the battery goes out.
