Arjen, it's always good talking to someone who really understands what
they're talking about.

You're right. Brazil's voltage standard is 110v in some cities, 220v in most
and always 60hz. About the ups, it has a big red label stating "use only on
220-240V". I really liked your input, so don't get me wrong here: as this
product was bought (in fact, given to me) in Brazil I'll just assume Eaton
is selling an ups that's appropriate for use here.

I've read the megatec man page and I'll configure the driver properly. My
distro (ubuntu 8.04) doens't come with a blazer driver. But anyway, *in my
case* I just don't think it's worth configuring the battery charge level.
The only thing that's really important is to get the pc to shutdown before
the battery goes dead.

Sweet, I just wanted to have read this earlier. :-/

Below is the log my script generated:

,driver.parameter.pollinterval,driver.parameter.port,driver.version,driver.version.internal,input.frequency,input.voltage,input.voltage.fault,input.voltage.maximum,input.voltage.minimum,output.voltage,output.voltage.nominal,ups.beeper.status,ups.delay.shutdown,ups.delay.start,ups.load,ups.mfr,ups.model,ups.serial,ups.status,ups.temperature

Now I'm pretty sure it never goes beyond 90%, but I can live with that.

Thank you all for the help!
