On my old Back-UPS (APC) I used a older third party software that could be setup as master and slave. Hoever, it was only for simple signalling.
Supposedly Power chte will do the same but I haven't found anything yet.

I am trying to figure out how to install and configure PowerChute on a Redhat system and use it to notify other servers(on the same ups) to shutdown. APCs documentation is terrible (of what I have found). The installatoin gose fine. But how do I get to the control panels, and set up other machines to be a slave?
I see no way to configure the PowerChute or control it. This is really aggravating, as I was needing to have this done before Sun 12(noon) (trying to go on vacation). And I have been studying on this for 4 days already.
What is everyone using to control an APC Master/Slave PC?
thanks in advance

Not sure about that model, but usually you'll need to connect to the ups via the serial connection to set it up. Even if it has a web interface, you'll probably need to first connect via telnet on a serial line.
We have a APC Symmetra and I use the powerchute 'network shutdown' software. IIRC, after initial set up of the UPS, I can install the PowerChute software on a server, then go to the web interface to the UPS (or telnet in) and tell it to connect to and add the IP address of the server to the list of systems to notify. However, the different models may use different iterations of PowerChute.
