Execute fmsadmin shell commands when ups detects powercut

[nomaan]

Hello all

At my workplace we have a new ups system and i'd like to ask if there is a way of executing the fmsadmin commands via terminal on mac but without manually having to do it i.e. via a script of somesort? ...so that when a powercut occurs, the server files close and shutdown safely and lessening the chance of file/data corruption.

i hope this makes sense and that someone can help.

Thanks in adv

Absolutely. You execute a shell command from an applescript or you can write a shell script (bash, tcsh,...). Find out what kind of scripts your UPS supports and what kind of scripts you're good at.
