[Alexander Wuerstlein]

Hello,

I'd like to announce "nutdown", a nut client written using perl
UPS::Nut. 

It's purpose is to enable shutdowns in stages, e.g. "less important
servers shut down at 80% charge, the important ones at 10% and the nut
server at 5%". To that end, nutdown supports "events" like power_fail,
the charge falling below configurable percentages (i.e. every integer
from 0 to 100) etc. Those events can be assigned as default events to
all hosts, to one host or a group of hosts. Each event may trigger
configurable actions like the execution of a command, a syslog entry or
a Linux SysRq. 

nutdown is still experimental and work in progress. There is a suite of
tests, some documentation, a Debian package (not upstream and not yet
confirming to Debian's policy) and a github repository, but of course
everything could be nicer and shinier. Therefore I hereby ask for
comments and suggestions.




Greetings,

Alexander Wuerstlein.
