It kind of is linux related. There is a smupsd which does exactly this... and I have
used it, and it works. The biggest problem is that you have to restart the deamon on
each client machine whenever the deamon on the server is restarted
I don't know if it shuts downa NT server though... You might also want to check APC's
powerchute for linux
