Our UPS has a LAN connection and automatically sends an e-mail when a power
failure is detected.  We send it to a distribution list on our mail server
of which we have 3 pagers and 2 cell phones.  I would check with your UPS
vender to see what they offer.  We are running a large Powerware UPS with
BEST/Link software.  Windows 2000 has built in ups monitoring software if
your UPS has a serial communication port.  You can also set a system value
on your AS400 to re-IPL upon power restore.

We've just spent the morning cleaning up after the second prolonged utility
outage (during the weekend to boot) in the past month, and its got me
wondering.

Can anyone recommend any software (OS400 or NT) that can provide
email/pager
notification of UPS events?
We don't need anything fancy, just one small 270 to babysit, and I'd like
it
(or one of the NT boxes, I'm impartial.) to contact me before it shuts down
so I can come in and push the power button (or tell someone onsite to)
instead of getting woke up by angry users.

Smaller and the cheaper are better.
