[Nut-upsuser] Powering off the big stuff first

[Willcox David]

Interesting. Something similar came up in late May. Look for "[Nut-upsuser] Synthesize low batt (LB) fron SNMP UPS which does not support this?” Is there an archive of this list? I an’t find it. I’d been trying to figure out how to do that itself, but then found some code in drivers/dstate.c that looked like it would work, but someone else replied that they’d tried it and it didn’t work.

But that was about getting the NUT server to synthesize LB to its clients before the actual UPS did.

If you’re running NUT as a client on your server, then yes, as others have noted, upssched on your server is probably the way to go.
