[Nut-upsdev] RE : How to cause a local system shutdown...

[ArnaudQuette at Eaton.com]

William, Charles,

I've indeed seen the thread, but not yet had time to consider answering it.
It's on my TODO stack though, and has been for long, to address this case.
Ie, sending a shutdown order to a network card in a UPS, that in turn trigger a shutdown of the connected systems, either through the same card, or other connection (like USB).

If you don't see an answer from me within a few days, please ping me back.

cheers,
Arnaud

Bill,

Not a problem. I think you are breaking new ground here, but it's something that we should consider for other big UPS models.

Arnaud,

Have you had a chance to follow this discussion? Basically, it sounds like we have a gap in the shutdown mechanism if NUT is set up to monitor an UPS, but the force-shutdown command is sent to the UPS by another system which is not the NUT master. This would probably apply to Eaton's multi-user UPSes like those monitored by snmp-ups and the XML-based cards.
