Hi Apple Script Users,
We have a customer who is running UPS, with our Shutdown software on a
Windows server. The shutdown software, which gracefully closes down the
operating system, is Multilink 3.0, downloadable from the Liebert.com
website. Anyway, the customer also wants to shutdown his MAC server also
based on power events. While Multilink 3.0 is available for Windows, it is
not currently available for MAC. However, Multilink 3.0, (whatever
version) does have command file/execute batch option also for each power
event. What I need to know is:
1) Is it possible to enter an apple script event, onto a Windows Server
application, to then notify the MAC server on network.
E.g. On Power event, (say UPS on battery), can a basic script be written,
and added to Multilink on the Windows Server, E.g. : "Start shutdown of
10.10.10.10 (MAC Server)", with this message being sent through network to
MAC.
OR
2) Is it possible to write an apple script on the MAC server, for shutdown,
then to start this shutdown file, can a basic script be written to notify
the MAC from the Windows Application Multilink.E.g. "Windows 10.10.10.1
send start message to execute XYZ.exe (apple script) on MAC Server
10.10.10.10".
Of course, based on these questions, we also need to be able to re-start
the MAC server, when power has returned to normal.
I would interested in answers to these questions, and/or if this has
already been done, how to access this information?
I am happy to start doing internet course to learn Applescript, if required
to assist my customers.
Thank you in advance for your assistance,
Regards,
