Yeesh.  If you can't find a way to make things not power up until they've
had 60 seconds of good power, you may have to do it manually.  Blech.

I know a place where one of the office staff plugged a vacuum cleaner into the
UPS and turned it on (not here; name removed to protect the guilty,
but some on this list know this story and who I'm talking about :-).
I believe the UPS was OK, but it did instantly take down every
machine connected to it.  I think that included their web
server at the time  :-P
