I'm looking for UPS monitoring software which will work across a network. I need it to monitor another machine which has a UPS on it and shutdown the hosting PC when the other machine detects a power outage. I have one big UPS where the main PC is and it communicates with the PC. the other PCs are plugged into UPSs that don't communicate with the PC and would like them all to shut down when the big one tells them to. They're all APC unit and APC PowerChute Business edition recognizes them but they apparently have their software crippled to not allow this with lower cost units. Their tech support said it won't work with those lower cost units. Measly $200 UPSs - what are they good for?! ;o) Any ideas?
