UPS Auto shutdown of multiple pc's - APC Powerchute Network Shutdown vs Apcupsd
by bitfuzzy from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5RC45)
I'm upgrading my UPS to a SMX1500RM2UC + (1) External battery pack
Rather than worrying about manually shutting I'm wanting to set the UPS (systems) to automatically shut down.
To facilitate this the UPS will also be fitted with a Network Management Card (ap9640)
I'm looking for input on using APC's Powerchute Network Shutdown vs Apcupsd
Initially the question came into existence due to APC's being up to date where as Apcupsd doesn't seem to have been updated since 2018
Practical insight / thoughts / opinions based on first hand experience with either (or both) would be helpful
Systems running Slackware 14.1 and Current
Thank you
Ken
