I will admit, this is on my to do list as well for the 1100va ups. (I 
have 2).  Fortunately, I now only have three machines to shut down so it 
makes configuration easier.

which is preferred UPS or cereal?  Everything I've seen says the serial

it's also for Red Hat eight or nine which is really too old for any real
