Set it to shutdown when you have x minutes of battery left where x is enough to allow you to shutdown the system.  There is an application in portage - nuts I think that is supposed to interface to UPSs.

Dear all,

I'm having a 2.2KV APC UPS, and i'm connecting my Gentoo email server on it,
so what is the proper way to configure my server to auto shutdown, when the
Main power off.

Thanking you,

Suranga

emerge apcupsd

It works beautifully. :-)  Communication between server and UPS works with serial and USB. I
purchased the additional SNMP card with mine and it works also.

To have a stable system, you will need to:
1) alter your bios so that your server will automatically start up on power restore.
2) Adjust apcupsd.conf to match your server(s) power down requirements.
3) Follow the apcupsd power failure test procedure to insure your server issues a UPS power down
w/delay command during server halt to protect against intermittent power failures.
