You also may wish to get the cable to hook up the E4A to the UPS signal
warning. Or, if you already have the UPS attached to some PC have that PC
communicate to IBM i to handle the power failure.

I have been wondering how to do this for some time, not the cable from the UPS to the i, but sending the control signal to multiple computers. Do you use special software, or have you set up your own program to monitor and pass on the signal? What if it is a mixed environment?
