For some time I have been using the American Power Conversion (APC) uninterruptible power supply (UPS) daemon
Apcupsd to interface my desktop computer with my
APC Back-UPS ES 550. Available for Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, and Solaris 10, Apcupsd reliably warns me when the power goes out and gives me time to get my box properly shut down before data is lost, or does so automatically if I am not there to supervise.
