I'm not sure how current desktop Macs work, but can't you just adapt PowerBook/iBook behaviour? If my iBook's battery goes low it does a force sleep. Even with almost empty batteries, the state of the machine can be hold for more than a day until it goes off completely. If you force sleep with a full UPS, sleeping the machine for several weeks shouldn't be a problem. Unless the Power Manager is buggy, he should do all the syncing for you. No need to close files just because power is low. No need to reboot the machnie at all. "man pmset" already has some hints about UPS usage. Cheers, Markus - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dipl.
