Shutdown the servers before the Uninterruptible Power Supply is completely drained.

Use case

A Ups is great to avoid hard shutdowns of servers with short power cuts. But what if the power is interrupted for a longer time than the battery can provide the servers? For such cases there is software that shuts down the servers at a certain percentage of battery drainage.

Apcupsd is software specifically for Apc Ups-es.

Alternatives

Nut is a generic software, suitable for more Ups brands than Apc.
