Run Script After Shutdown and then Startup

[Anonymous user]

I would like PCNS to run a post shutdown 'startup' script but only only after:

1. Power has been lost for long enough for the PCNS shutdown scripts to execute and the UPS / Outlet group to power off.
2. Power has resumed

I cant use "Input Power Restored" , i believe, as this will fire after a few seconds of power outage (but no actual shutdown taking place)

I cant use run time remaining above threshold, i believe, as this event is constantly true under normal power conditions.

maybe i need my shutdown script to write out a flag "ShutdownHappened=1"

So that my startup script can query this flag

• If Shutdownhappened=1 then run startup script

any ideas please? Can be PCNS do this more elegantly?

thanks

Nick

Hi,

PCNS runs command files prior to OS shutdown. See page 39 of the User's Guide. You can configure it to run commands for specific events but those would also be run prior to OS shutdown.

I think your proposal of writing a file in a shutdown script and checking its presence in a startup script is a good idea.
