jbarr 0 Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Hi! I just installed a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) on one of my PC's and I'm interested in setting up the Windows XP Pro's UPS services. The UPS provides battery backup for a PC, a router, a cable modem, and a Vonage Phone adapter. The Windows XP's UPS service has a setting that lets you optionally execute a program when the UPS notifies Windows XP that the power is off. I would like to simply have Windows auto-send an email notification when this happens and then shut itself down. The shutdown is a function of the UPS service, so that's a no-brainer. As far as the email notification, do you think this is something that would be appropriate for AutoIT or would it just be simpler to execute a Postie command? Thanks!

I forgot that Postis is not "free" but BLAT is. Thanks! Visit Jim's Tips for lots of cool tips on Gmail, SageTV, PDA's, and whatever else interests me! Link to post Share on other sites
