Yes, we had several of them at the last place I worked.  We used APCUPSD
(http://www2.apcupsd.com/) to handle shutdowns after a certain period of
time.  It's even network-aware (the master, hooked up to the UPS, can tell
the slaves to shut down in x minutes..  assuming that your hub/switch is
on the UPS as well).
