Hi i was wondering if i could get a UPS (uninteruptible power supply(battery)) for my server as i have been having lots of power cuts. I need something that shuts down the server then possibly turns off windows. All help greatly appreciated And when i say UPS and APC they both arent delivery companies xD
I think he is looking for a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) for his computer. Something like the this? https://www.newegg.com/UPS/SubCategory/ID-72 Unfortunately I don't know of anything that is capable of safely shutting down the server once a power cut is detected.
APC has/had PowerChute which would send the shutdown signal when power was lost after a certain amount of time, and if you get one with a NIC you can do SNMP traps. That's what I did with my UPS, before the battery went bad and I never replaced it lol.
We have a diskstation and have gone through two UPS due to battery faliure and our school technitians are always fixing theirs lol xD. I will go and try powerchute with a UPS that is currently in use. Thanks for the help xD. Will say if it works...
I see you changed your post here XD I hope someone here can help ya, I personally don't have a clue about this stuff (too confusing) ;P
I've got this one: https://www.amazon.com/APC-Back-UPS-Battery-Protector-BR1300G/dp/B0038ZU2FC @Strahan How do you get the UPS to initiate the orderly shutdown of the Minecraft server? i.e., have it do a 'stop' command?
Setup an SNMP manager to put "stop" in the console when the UPS trap is triggered. From the link you provided, it has a "data port" but I'm not sure if it supports SNMP or not, you'd have to read up on it.
