Please elaborate here, because as far as I know we already have this  
(the 'upsd' server).

What we're intending to do is to add additional 'upsd' servers (per  
outlet) that are configurable to some extend allow you to set  
additional shutdown parameters. But these additional servers would all  
be slaves to the server controlling the UPS, since by the time that  
one decides the UPS battery is empty, there is nothing to to but to  
shutdown.

Best regards, Arjen
