Best way to handle power outages?

[jon00]

Jon, I believe I have former state. That's why, I guess, if the shutdown is not graceful the PC will restart, otherwise not. I know I can trigger events even with APCUPSD to shutdown HS, just didn't get round to it yet. Anywhow, I am interested. Any specific UPS plugin you'd suggest?

Cheers

If you can already trigger events then that is fine however you can also look at tenHspower and BLUPS to name just two.

Thanks Jon. Will take a look at them!

Not sure, I might try it but it could also be different for different UPS's. I'd hope there was some sort of no-load shutdown so when the PC shutdown (and there was no load on the UPS) then the UPS did but not sure. There is an option in the windows power management to 'Finally turn off the UPS' so it looks like commands can be sent to the UPS to shutdown from windows. If this helps?

Thanks! I will hve a look at the documentation for my UPS and see if it supports this mode.
