Just my €0.02, but if the site is important enough for you to "hope" for
the site to send a last millisecond notification, it should be important
enough to invest a couple bucks on a remote management capable UPS ...
not just for power outages, but rather for protecting the hardware from
voltage spikes, or erratic behavior due to other power problems ...
