Could be. Then I guess I did the "chmod 660" for the folder + its files at 
once.

Yeah, made it 751 since, so I can use the cgi status script. That's as fancy 
as it gets in my setup ;)

Well, unless it turns out the Sweex 1000 VA smart UPS supports switching off 
seperate outlets.. would anyone know?
    Currently I use upssched to turn the pc off 5 minutes after power 
failure and use the remaining juice to feed the phone system for a couple of 
hours. The downside of that setup is that the pc doesn't restart 
automatically if line power returns before the UPS is drained.

Thanks,
