*rofl'ing*  nothing like a little first hand experience to make an
impression, no?

good point about the screen saver.  i use one when i'm away from my
desk.

i saw another message the other day, and it was the one about low
battery.  since the battery is only a few months old, i think
something is odd with the ups in that context.  it claimed a
brand-new 12-volt battery provided only about 4.9 volts, which is
what it said about the old one i replaced.

my ups also connects via usb.  i forget the exact verbage from the
nut messages, as i've seen several of them.  i figure some of them
are related to ntp adjusting the system clock, which could make nut
think it missed its handshake.

yes, i see a correlation between cpu load and nut messages.  i use
software raid1 for two disks with encrypted partitions on my disks.
plus, lvm and jfs.  if i do something extremely disk i/o intensive,
it drives my cpu loading through the roof.  and nut starts sending
out broadcast messages, which doesn't help my train of thought.

no regularity that i've seen so far.  no automated tasks that
suddenly kicked in, although i'm sure i ran <something> at the
time.  i don't remember just what.

thank you for your time and assistance
