Product Description:

PowerSaveUPS is Macintosh only scriptable software for controlling UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) systems with USB (such as APC) Two shutdown thresholds are specified - Soft (Graceful) shutdown, and Hard (Ungraceful) shutdown which is instigated as a last resort. At Soft shutdown time, any scripts in the 'PowerSaveUPS Scripts' folder are executed. Typically these would be scripts that save any open documents as a time stamped 'PowerSave BU', followed by a 'graceful' shutdown script. You can download the demo version from http://www.powersaveups.com The demo is free and fully functional, but time limited to 10 minutes.

I am using PowerSaveUPS on a small Filemaker Server deployment. Everything works as described and its not too hard to develop applescripts if you are reasonably tech savy. If you aren't, the included ones will help out most users. Communicates well with my off-brand UPS, which is great.

I have used this software for the last 8 months to back up my Logic Pro sessions in the event of power outage. I'm using a Mac Pro Xeon 8 core 3.2GHz running 10.5.8 and Logic Pro 9. My UPS is an APC 1500VA Smart UPS. The scripts provided with the software were very easy to edit for my needs, and basically if there's a power down when I'm not at the computer, the software saves my work as a time-stamped back-up, and performs a graceful shutdown. I've had 3 or 4 power failures, and the software always manages to do a graceful shutdown - the hard (forced) shutdown threshold is never reached. All in all for the security of my work, this is great value for money, and basically eclipses anything else out there for OSX!

Following some pretty poor support from APC when attempting to use one of their UPS solutions to gracefully shut down a FileMaker server I came across PowerSaveUPS on Version Tracker.

A superb solution which I would highly recommend to anyone who requires advanced scripting in conjunction with their UPS.

Better yet, the support I received from the developer when I made initial enquiries into the software was incredibly quick, accurate and helpful.
