| I was going to suggest a similar approach.  I use a couple of
| Tripp-Lite UPS's that have a USB interface (6 outlets, i think ~70$).

| GNU licensed server and client for Linux.  Besides sending alerts, the
| UPS apparently can accept commands for shutting it off, rebooting it,
| and shutting receptacles on/off.
