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.

I didn't know you had to put the folder with the program in the application's folder for it to work. All the other applications I've downloaded never had this requirement which is why I didn't suspect that this was the case. Oh well it works and that's what matters. Now I just have to find a USB cable to connect my Mac to the UPS. I'm definitely not a technician nor a programer but that's why I like Macs.

The first time you run PowerSaveUPS from a non-admin account, you may get a Nil Object Exception Error. You can either:

1. Run PowerSaveUPS from an admin account or
2. Enable Read/Write privileges on the 'PowerSaveUPS folder, and click on 'Apply to enclosed items'

After first run or authorization, PowerSaveUPS will run fine from a non-admin account.

Also please note that the whole 'PowerSaveUPS folder' should be in your 'Applications' folder!

In future builds, the above mentioned Exception will be trapped!
