Powercadd Powerchute Network Shutdown V4.1

When using the APC PowerChute software you can (must) run a script to shutdown your servers before battery is too low.
On the PowerChute web page, select the events you want to run a script from.
Add the default.cmd (C:Program FilesAPCPowerChute Business Editionagentcmdfilesdefault.cmd) command file.

@echo off
rem
rem Maximize for best viewing
rem This command file provides examples of proper command file syntax

rem
rem Command Files run by PowerChute Business Edition must be placed in this directory.
rem
rem Use the full path name of executable programs and external command files.
rem
rem The @START command must be used to run executable programs (see example below).
rem For the @START command, path names that include spaces must be enclosed in quotes;
rem arguments for the executable must be outside the quotes. A double quote must
rem precede the quoted path name. For example, to execute a command file in
rem c:Program FilesAPCPowerChute Business Editionagentcmdfiles called myShut.exe,
rem the following line should be entered in the command file:
rem
rem @START ' 'c:Program FilesAPCPowerChute Business EditionagentcmdfilesmyShut.exe'
rem
@echo on
Add some new commands at the end like :
@START ' 'C:WINDOWSsystem32shutdown.exe' /s /f /m myserver.mydomain.intra /c 'APC Shutdown' /d 6:12
This will shutdown your server remotely, closing all open applications and with a warning message.
You can add other commands or batch too.

Powercadd Powerchute Network Shutdown V4.1 Update

IMPORTANT : the powerchute agent service may not run with sufficiant privilieges, so it cannot execute a shutdown on a remote server. Usually it uses a local account.
You need to change it to use an AD admin account :

NOTE:

-I use APC PCNS for Linux only. I didn’t use its PCNS because I don’t have APC UPS with NMC.

If I have NMC, I’ll use PCNS instead of apcupsd or still using apcupsd with pcnet settings

If someone want to donate me APC NMC, I’ll glad to test for them

-login as root to pcns and install apcupsd

# yum -y install apcupsd

-for linux based apt-get use these commands

# apt-get putty-tools

# yum -y install openssh-clients

-test ssh using admin account

install pexpect using either these commands

# apt-get install python-pexpect

# cat /root/shutcucm.py

import sys

server_user = “<platform user>”

child = pexpect.spawn(‘ssh %s@%s’ % (server_user, server_ip))

child.timeout = 60

child.sendline(server_pass)

child.sendline(‘utils system shutdown’)

child.sendline(‘yes’)

child.expect(‘ Appliance is being Powered – Off …’)

print ‘Shutdown command successfully sent.’
