Ahh that old chestnut.  That's never a good thing, try to tell them not 
to do this, although I know it's hard, I have customers who love to 
reboot things too.

If it is the Asterisk system coming online too early causing problems on 
the old PBX, does the UPS you are using have a power-on delay feature? 
In some UPS you can set delays for various sockets on them.  Designed 
for situations like this and also so everything doesn't try to power up 
at once causing a power surge.

cheers,
Paul.
