[Nut-upsuser] Powering off the big stuff first

[Dan Langille]

Hello,

I had an idea last week: why shut everything off (in my basement) when the power goes off (and run time goes below X minutes)?

My idea: shutdown the big stuff first (two servers) leaving the little stuff (switches, wireless, gateway) running for a while longer. I might get another 30 minutes of internet that way. Let me watch a bit more streaming….

I’m convinced that idea is achievable with a little programming. 

Mind you, most of my power outages exceed 1 hour. 

Do you already do something similar? Do you have something you’d like to share please?

Thank you
