Actually there is apcd using smart mode, reporting status info and being
able to chain daemons and shut down more than one machines. Source IS avail,
a safe bet is the Debian/Linux source tree all around the world, for example:
ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/hamm/main/source/admin/apcd_*
Worths well the price (zero $$$) and you have the source. And you
use unix. Need I say more?
