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!

If this is on Linux I would just setup SSH keys and run a script that halts 
each other machine at its own runlevel 0.

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.

We have a client that has APC UPS SmartUPS 1500 units and they want to do a 
shutdown of their servers if power goes out. 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.

Any experience with this?
