[RELEASE] APC UPS Monitor Driver

I may be able to make this work for me by:
I have it working:

  1. continuing without the notifications, they send a status change without any other information
  2. sending the status information every 10 minutes, that contains all the UPS info including status and batteryRunTime remaining until UPS shutdown. That's all I need to do a graceful shutdown.
  3. Also the windows machine must be changed not to sleep

Update: Can't figure out how to get the Windows scheduler to execute the PHP job rather than just list it. This is really fugly. This means issuing a "refresh" every N minutes from the HE UPS device (or an RM)

Update2: have it working every 10 minutes from windows scheduler with the following command structure.
C:\Path\to php.exe file\php.exe -f C:\Path\to php file\file.php
Task set to wake machine, so sleep "should" be is OK.

Update 3:

  • Added second scheduled task to start wamp.exe, my local PHP server
  • Both tasks changed to start at "System Startup" without a user being logged in. wamp start delayed 2 minutes, php run delayed 3 minutes
  • rebooted system--it worked :fireworks: I'm ferklempt
