Does apcupsd send shutdown messages to Windows users logged into the server via Samba or does it only send it to users logged directly into FreeBSD? Reading the apcusbd manual I noticed it said that to access the RETURNCHARGE setting in the ups you need to be connected via a serial port. Do you use a Serial or USB connection? I am thinking of purchasing an APC SUA1500I model. Thanks, Ivan
