Bob, I try to run a relatively lightweight instance of Win7. Since I knew Win XP had an actual UPS utility (which I had used), I was hoping the capability in Win7 would be as useful. I found the utility in XP to be sufficient for my APC UPS. If Win7 has an embedded capability to do something well enough, then for me the tradeoff in using a manufacturer's software usually comes down to asking if I really need to do whatever else it does. Maybe 'bloatware' was too strong a term, but I wasn't sure what to think when I saw three separate installations from a 100+ MB file to control a UPS (server, agent, console). Since it looked like the Advanced Power Profile Battery options had the ability to act on Low and Critical notifications, I was hoping that meant there was enough bidirectional communication so that Windows would be getting this info from the SmartUPS. I guess that was assuming too much.
And yes, I do now use WMP12 to burn disks. Not hard at all, reliable, and free. The days of using Nero have since passed in that department.

I have a couple APC UPS -
- Smart-UPS RT 6000 RM XL
- Smart-UPS RT 5000 RM XL
Unfortunately the power in my office likes to go out (out of my control) and hence the equipment powered by these UPS shuts down. They power a VMware infrastructure environment (VMware Lab Manager) and what I'd like to do is detect when one is on battery (say has been for x amount of time or has x percentage left) and run a script on this event.
What software do I need to detect a on-battery event and have it run a script?
Thanks!

Why not use the APC PowerChute?

You can use
apcupsd
, it's in most repositories. It supports both USB and RS232 connections as well as networked communication (where the network server can be both the UPS itself as well as another apcupsd
instance).It has default scripts that should gracefully shutdown your machine. The scripts that do that are defined in apcupsd config file, you should be able to switch them to something different.

I've got this old piece - http://goo.gl/5M37Sc, working reliably so far, but it has one big problem: command file when power is down won't run.
Everything seems to be configured correctly, but when power is down, no email notification is sent nor my 'test.bat' file is executed.
this is from the manual:
I've done all things mentioned, but still, my properly registered test.bat file won't get executed. Anyone has similar experience?
I've also tried to run the file in powerchute console configuration dialog via test button. Even this way is not working.

APC by Schneider Electric, formerly known as American Power Conversion Corporation, is a manufacturer of uninterruptible power supplies, electronics peripherals and data center products.
In 2007, Schneider Electric acquired APC and combined it with MGE UPS Systems to form Schneider Electric's Critical Power & Cooling Services Business Unit, which recorded 2007 revenue of $3.5 billion (EUR 2.4 billion) and employed 12,000 people worldwide. Until February 2007, when it was acquired, it had been a member of the S&P 500 list of the largest publicly traded companies in the United States. Schneider Electric, with 113,900 employees and operations in 102 countries, had 2008 annual sales of $26 billion (EUR 18.3 billion).
In 2011 APC by Schneider Electric became a product brand only, while the company was rebranded as the IT Business Unit of Schneider Electric.

History[edit]
APC was founded in 1981 by three MITLincoln Lab electronic power engineers. Originally, the engineers focused on solar power research and development. When government funding for their research dried up, APC shifted its focus to power protection by introducing its first UPS in 1984.
In July 1988, APC became a publicly held company, traded on the NASDAQ exchange under the ticker symbol APCC. In February 2007, American Power Conversion was delisted from the NASDAQ exchange, and replaced in the S&P 500 Index by Hudson City Bancorp.[citation needed]
Acquisition by Schneider[edit]
Powerchute Apc Data Service Not Running Number
Schneider Electric announced its acquisition of APC on October 30, 2006[1] and completed it on February 14, 2007.[2] APC share-holders approved the deal on January 16, 2007.[3] The European Union authorized the merger, provided that Schneider divest itself of the MGE UPS SYSTEMS global UPS business below 10kVA.[4] Late in 2007 Eaton Powerware bought the MGE Office Protection Systems division of Schneider.
Product lines[edit]
Today,[when?] the company focuses its efforts on four application areas:
- Home/home office
- Business networks
- Access provider networks
- Data centers and facilities
Symmetra[edit]
APC Symmetra LX is a line of uninterruptible power supply products, aimed at network and server applications. Symmetras come in power configurations ranging from 4 kVA to 16 kVA. Symmetras are built for use in a data center, (in a 19-inch rack for example). They include features such as integrated manageability, hot-swappability, user replaceable power, battery and intelligence modules. Typical applications include web and other application servers, IP based and traditional PBX voice solutions, and enterprise type network switches.
APC Symmetra PX1 (THOR 20-80 KVA) is a line of Uninterruptible Power Supply Products aimed at the small, medium market of data servers rooms. With user changeable Power Modules, Battery Modules, and 24/7 Hotline Support which typically can diagnose a problem via telephone call and/or direct connection access of its SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) Card, have become 'THE LEGENDARY RELIABILITY' Leader in the UPS Marketplace with a demonstrative99.4% Online Uptime. This platform has become the most stable, modular redundancy (no hard failure faults to turn off unit in event of a module failure), and placed itself firmly in the hearts of all IT Business Executives at all levels.
Nexus fallout 3 mods. APC's signature product is InfraStruXure.[citation needed]
Smart-UPS[edit]
APC Smart-UPS is a line of smaller units intended for home and office use, available as floor-standing and rackmount versions. With the exception of the Smart-UPS Online series (SURT and SRT models), Smart-UPS units are line-interactive UPS systems, running their outputs off the inverters only when the grid power is unavailable.
PowerChute[edit]
PowerChute is a computer program by APC used to control the uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) the company produces. It provides unattended shutdown of servers and workstations in the event of an extended power outage. It also monitors and logs the UPS status. Some versions with reduced functionality are shipped together with the UPS units sold by APC, while other versions have to be bought separately.
PowerChute Business Edition requires servers to be connected via serial port or USB to the monitored Smart-UPS equipment. It provides UPS management and safe server shutdown for up to 25 servers.[5] UPS Network Management Cards made by APC are enabling UPS management, by directly connecting the UPS to the network with its own IP address, avoiding dependence or the need for a server, which is particularly useful in wiring closets where frequently no servers are present. PowerChute Network Shutdown, together with the UPS Network Management Card, enables safe server shutdown by communicating over a network to any network-enabled APC Smart-UPS (those that contain an UPS network management card).[6]
