- Not too many years ago, the only ups with automatic shutdown for small
- Unix systems (that I could find) was Elgar. There is in fact one on
- the machine I am using now, I have been happy with it. Elgar has changed
- its name to Network Security Systems.
-
- American Power Conversion (APC) finally added Unix to it's list of
- autoshutdown products. I have used both APC & Elgar/NSS on client projects.
