I have a APC SMART UPS with a management card on my network. Yesterday we hade a power failure and after some time my server powered down .

I had set APCUPSD KILL UPS to YES, but this didn't seem to happen.

 

Is there a way I get notified on my Iphone when there is a power failure?

Didn't see exact instructions, but this fellow says he was going to post info on it.

Regarding the UPS not shutting down - how long did you wait?  And how long is the power-off delay that is set up in the UPS?  (This is how long it waits from receiving the kill command until it switches off.  Some units allow this to be configured over quite a wide range)

Thanks for that tip, was an oversight on my account.

I checked that, but saw nothing more that a small intro regarding apcupsd. And nothing more??

 

I have a 9617 Management Card in my UPS though and it can do e-mail notification. It needs a SMTP server though that doesn't need authentication. Would it be possible to set up a such a SMTP server in unraid? That would be nice.

Sure, just add it to the scripts called by apcupsd in /etc/apccontrol or create a new script named powerout, something like this:

echo "mail -s 'power is out' you@your_iphone" >/etc/apcupsd/powerout

chmod 755 /etc/apcupsd/powerout

If it exists and is executable, it will be invoked by /etc/apccontrol.

 

Now, odds are this will not work regardless, since normally your connection to the web will be out when you lose power and no mail can be sent.   

(you must also have a working mail command installed )

I just knew there was a reason that I put my router and cable modem on the UPS as well as the server...  I will have to try this.

My modem is on ups, but noticed my switch isn't so it wouldn't work anyways. Lol
