Ideally your UPS is smart enough to sense when the load drops to 0,
and do whatever it needs to do w/o system intervention of any sort. If
your UPS can't do that, maybe it is time to look for alternatives :)
That's nice if you only have a computer plugged into the UPS (even then,
the load will never go to 0, due to ATX standby current). However, here
in the real world, I have a router, switch, DSL modem, monitor,
speakers, etc. on my UPS.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
