Question about Power Management ... sort of.
I have an Uninterruptible Power Supply with a USB connector that can signal devices when the power is lost.
Normally you have that USB run to a computer and that computer then sends commands to shut down servers and such.
I've read about how to do this with linux here...http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/25/how-to-network-your-ups/
Think it's possible to do this with my Chromebox?... Have the Chromebox intercept the power lost signal and send shutdown signals to 2 NAS units?...
Maybe there is actually a pre-coded add on for this already.
EDIT - never mind this.... it may be easy but it's surely off topic.
