Hi!

In my experience (with a couple of different USB UPS devices) ubuntu sees is at a battery, so information about it is located in /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0 What exactly are you wanting to manage? UPS devices are pretty much ON/OFF affairs.

The thing that I want to do is to connect an UPS to Ubuntu 8.04 server without Graphical Interface. Then program the system to shutdown the server when the UPS runs with 30% of power.

This is the beggining couse when this runs ok I have something more...but later.

Any idea? Thanks

No GUI with networkupstool... just a config file and a daemon doing exactly what you want to do, just check the links :)

It depends on your ups, I have a Belkin and an APC. I have not been able to setup the belkin in either Windows or Linux. The APC uses apcupsd available here, you can control the ups from the command line and there is a webmin plugin for it.
