Thanks for the notes all. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jonathan Roberts Sent: Thursday, March 31, 2011 9:10 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [brlug-general] APC UPS server shutdowns
I have not used this in a while either... Besides a script like Mark mentioned, there is a network card you can buy for some models of UPSes. I believe that allows you to broadcast a shutdown to many machines at one. On Thu, Mar 31, 2011 at 7:21 AM, Mark A. Lappin <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Not in a while. Previously I used one machine running the APC software and gave it a script to execute which would remotely start shutting down remote systems. Worked OK, not great but that was 7 or 8 years ago with only 2 servers. Probably better ways and software now. ML Mark A.

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.
