Yes, This software is very customizable. (The powerchute software) It can be
configured to run custom scripts, etc.. after many different types of
anomalies. ie APC on battery, APC on regular power, also you can have the
software execute command scripts at X number of minutes after any defined
anomaly. I configure mine to shutdown after 10 minutes of being on battery,
this covers most power outages which last only like 5 minutes in my area. I
have about 20 minutes of battery power, so this can cover 2 back to back
pwoer outages, which are not uncommon in my area.

Subject: ( apcupsd || pchute+ ) ?
Which one is better? I have a LAN here. One Linux client and
one Win98. I need to be able to notify the Linux client to shut
itself down. I don't much care about the Win98 machine. It can
go to that dark place downstairs where God can't be found. Will
apcupsd allow me to send a shutdown command to the Linux client?
APC offers a Linux driver package for it's UPSs (finally). I
have the PowerChutePlus-X.X.X.X.i386.rpm(s) and the optional
tarball pcXXXX_glibc.tar.
However, the apcupsd driver package has a longer history. It has
been around a lot longer than APC's driver package. The
developer reverse-engineered APC's UPS serial connectors years
ago. Ah, the irony. Which has more features, and/or is more
flexible to configure for enhanced functionality?
Best Regards,
LG
