It's somewhat frustrating that my laptop has a battery, and my desktop has a battery (UPS), but they require completely different sets of software (both internally, and user interfaces) to monitor.

See <a href="http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=329027">http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=329027</a> -- the caveat is that HAL has to have an addon for your type of UPS -- at the moment only APC UPS's are supported. It's pretty trivial to convert a NUT module to a HAL addon if you need to (and I can help if required).<p/>And Crispin: Thanks for the praise, it makes a humble programmer very proud -- thanks. :-)<p/>Richard. j.r., GNOME Power Manager can deal with UPS also!
