In a power fail situation (we seem to have them often where we are located)
I want to run a script on our terminal server to notify the users of an
imminent shutdown and then actually shut the terminal server down. To do
this I thought I would use the "tsshutdn 120" command to shut the terminal
server down in 2 minutes. The actual script this command is embedded in will
not have run until after having already been on UPS battery power for 5
minutes so that should give users plenty of time to get off the system.
However, I want to ensure that the server can be powered back up unattended
by the attached Smart UPS once power is restored. I ahve my UPS configured
to do this once 15% battery power has been attained.
My question is this... Will using the "tsshutdn" command without the
"/powerdown" command simply shut the OS down leaving the machine running or
does it actully shut the server right down? If it shuts right down, then the
UPS will be unable to restart the server - which would be a problem if the
power failure is in the evening and there is no one here to power it back
up...
Thanks, Brad
