Powerchute Network Shutdown newbie - help~

Anonymous user · ‎2021-06-30

Hey guys,

I've two Smart-UPS RT5000XL backing up several workstations and have Powerchute Network Shutdown installed on them.
I'd like to have PCNS notify certain users when it's running on battery for 30 sec.
I've enabled Windows "Messenger" service, configured the corresponding event to notify all users, but could get PCNS to notify me so far... Can anyone shed some light on how I can achieve this? how does the nitification look like anyways? will it pop up a message window on the desktop?
