I bet you can imagine the pictures that were going through my mind when
I read your response... Like, "You've got to be kidding!" But I looked
it up on the web, and you're NOT kidding. :-)
Thank you,
Dave

David, we use a product called an egg that connects to our weather duck.
Our weather duck monitors all environmental parameters in our data
center as well as power room (temp humidity, airflow, etc). The egg
clamps around each leg of the utility company service and can tell it we
lose power.
It monitors our entire computer room rather than just our AS400s.

Subject: Loss of Power - any unique notification?
Well, someone pulled the plug this morning - for the WHOLE computer
room. It took a few minutes to find out that something happened, because
the system I was on was still being supported by a UPS. However, our
production machine started dropping after 4 minutes.
I know there is a message that comes when the system looses power, but
99.999% of the time, that is followed within microseconds by another
message that says that the power is back up again. We have three
machines that are getting these messages 5 - 10 or more times a day.
Is there any way to get notified when the power REALLY goes down? I was
looking in the log, and didn't see anything that showed up. We use the
old tool's MSGCTL, so I could/should be able to send a message if I was
able to determine if there was a "real" power outage.
Any ideas?
Dave
