SNMP or SSH to shutdown

[Anonymous user]

I'm working on an huge processing project and I am writing a full shutdown script for the entire operation in bash. I was wondering if anyone knew any way to encorporate a manual shutdown of the UPS unit using either SNMP or SSH?

If your UPS' have APC's network management card installed on them, then you can use SNMP. Check out this item from the [PowerNet MIB|http://support.ipmonitor.com/mibs/POWERNET-MIB/oids.aspx]:

upsAdvControlUpsOff: 1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.6.2.1
Values:
1) noTurnUpsOff
2) turnUpsOff
3) turnUpsOffGracefully
4) turnUpsSyncGroupOff
5) turnUpsSyncGroupOffAfterDelay
6) turnUpsSyncGroupOffGracefully

As an example, if your NMC has SNMP v1 enabled and allows the public community write-access to the device, then you could to this with the [Net-SNMP|http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/] set of tools:

snmpset -c public -v 1 IP_of_ups 1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.6.2.1.0 i 2

I hope that helps.
