Except that this does not have the server restart after power is restored.
And could possibly cause the ups to go dry faster. What about having the
server go to sleep when the UPS hits 40-50% battery life left and send a
wake on lan packet to wake it up when power is restored? This I believe
would give similar functionality to what he is requesting. The sleeping
system should draw minimal power allowing the ups to keep it alive a lot
longer then if it was running.

Maybe have cron use the 'pmset' command to delete the current
scheduled event and create a new one at (now + 6 minutes). If the job
runs every 5 minutes, you'll always have a startup event waiting.
