[Nut-upsuser] Powering off the big stuff first

[Kari Lempiäinen]

Hi,

You have two options. You can run nut on those servers and modify the scheduling part to shut down servers after desired delay when running on battery. Nut can monitor ups on another server. Other way is just getting some way of shutting down your servers remotely from the computer running the nut.

I have implemented a schedule running down my virtual box windows server on the nut running linux server. You can see my configuration from this message:

Five minutes after entering battery mode nut schedule shuts the windows server down.

Cheers,
Kari

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
