Sounds great if I don't mind programming the actual check of the UPS. I do mind. ;-)
I am looking for a solution that already speaks.. uh.. UPS. Actually, we are just stalling since they have a much larger Smart-UPS that supports a version of Powerchute that will do a network shutdown, but we can't use that in the current rack (they are moving soon). I think we have this settled though for now. Thanks!

On Windows, you could I know that shutdown commands can be sent via WMI (http://code.activestate.com/recipes/360649/). There's a package on Ubuntu called 'wmi-client' which I believe is a standalone package based on code taken from Samba.

I know that the SmartUPS models can shutdown a single server, but I'm trying to figure out if we can use Powerchute Business installed with these units to do a network-wide shutdown.
