Oh, ok. Well, yes, UPSs are very nice for short outages, and except for the hurricane last fall, all our outages have been short ones. The ones that make me cringe are the off ...... on ... off .. on ....... off .... on outages.
I've apparently jinxed myself. It seems we had a power outage today (all the machines at home to which I can connect have an uptime of 3 hours), and of course the dhcpd Sun didn't boot up. All the important servers (mail, web, secondary DNS, gateways) restarted, so the only one inconvenienced is mammasteed who probably can't connect to the Internet at the moment (nor anything else on our LAN). I tried calling her, but she's stopped answering the phone after so many bill collectors, sales calls, and sponge-like friends (no-one you know).
