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
Apcupsd is software specifically for Apc Ups-es. The hardware link between the Ups and a server is (often) a Usb cable. Apc Ups-es come with an odd cable, with on one end a Usb connector and on the other end something that looks like a Utp connector. One server can be connected with the Ups. Other servers must be shutdown from that connected server.
Install
Apcupsd is in the non standard Epel repository.
yum install apcupsd
Start the service and make it auto start at boot
Configure
Alternatives
Nut is a generic software, suitable for more Ups brands than Apc.
