A Rude Awakening

After being (very rudely) awakened at 6:30 this morning to what was supposed to be a very reassuring sound, I realized that my UPS was failing. I heard it beeping this morning and Karen realized that the power was still on, but the UPS was complaining about not having any power. I spent the next 1/2 hour shutting down the server and removed the UPS from the loop so I could go back to sleep.

I have been noticing latetly that it was sending a signal to my server that it had lost power and then regained it, all within a matter of seconds and this would continue for a few minutes. Hmmm... The only conclusion I could come to is that the UPS is failing and that I will now need to spend over $100 to replace it :(
