            shutting down a network when UPS senses power issues

            I have APC15oo running on WIN10 machine but also have a WIN7 and Ubuntu server running on network.

            I want to be able to issue shutdown commands to all my systems when a power outage is sensed and before batteries run out.

            How can I implement a script in PowerChute?

            Hi,

            Both PowerChute Business Edition and PowerChute Network Shutdown offer the option of running a command file / script. You work need to upgrade the UPS to a Smart-UPS to run either Business Edition or Network Shutdown and you will also need a network management card installed in the Smart-UPS to allow communication with Network Shutdown.

            thanks for the info.  I will take a look at them.  Do any of the other versions of Powerchute support it?
