- Doing A Gracefull Shutdown When UPS Is Low
- Posted by Less Than 0 on March 3rd, 2004
I have been trying to do this ever since i got my job. We have a UPS,
we have Red Hat Linux servers. I have heard that you can use apmd and
apm to sense the battery level of the UPS and automatically shutdown
when it gets to a certain percentage. This way if the power goes out
and the UPS gets below 50 percent or something to that affect it will
gracefully shutdown the server. I really would like to know first of
all where the config file is to do this and second how to do it, or
what entry in the config im looking for. Everything i find online is
having to do with laptops. Any help would be apreciated.

No, APM and apmd are used with a laptop computer built-in battery, not
an UPS.
Install the "nut" and "nut-client" packages for UPS monitoring.
See http://www.networkupstools.org/ for documentation.
