Hi, I am considering adding a rack mount APC Smart-UPS to add to my wiring closet.
APC says that PowerChute Personal Edition should be used with MacOS X Server up to v10.4.8. Any OS above that version should use the native Macintosh shutdown as set in ³System Preferences | Energy Saver ³. But, while the ³Energy Saver² panel allows for scheduled shutdown and wakeup it doesn¹t seem to address the situation where a signal over the network from the UPS that is supplying power would cause the server to shut down ASAP. (Including over-riding any logged in users). When the power returns, the default Mac ³Energy Saver² preference of stating when power is again available would work fine for me. Do any of you have a way of addressing this problem that is: Shut the server down when UPS Power device signals via a Network Management Card Start Up when power is again available. PS: Even better when the signal arrives the Server sends a message to all logged in Users asking them to logout ASAP and giving them, say 2 minutes. Then it shuts the system down regardless.
