I would love to see this in Source Mage. I know another person that uses
sourcemage with an UPS on the box, and eventually I'll have one too :) (He
doesn't get in on the mailing lists because he's a fool or something.) I know 
I
would like to have this built in so that we can cast -c upsmanager or 
something
and have it handle the init of the ups and everything, or not. I would have no
Idea on where to put this in the simpleinit system either. It used to be 
simple
K02ups and the ups script would be stopped right before the end.
The big problem is that usually people don't do anything after remounting the
drives read-only.
