Notify User Action

Notifications

PowerChute can send a message to one user or all logged-in users when an event occurs:

Notify all users: For Windows, the message will be sent to all users who are on the same network. For Linux or Unix, all users who are logged onto the server with a terminal prompt open will be notified.

Notify only this user: On Windows, enter the machine name. On Linux or Unix systems, enter the user name. The user will still need to be logged onto the server with a terminal prompt open to be notified.

Repeat Interval: The time interval, in seconds, at which the message will be repeated while the event condition exists. If this field is blank or zero, the message will not be repeated.

Delay (if required): Enter the amount of time in seconds that PowerChute should wait after the event occurs before notifying users. Users will be notified immediately if a shutdown event is triggered.

For Windows operating systems, PowerChute can only send notifications if the operating system supports the messenger service. If not supported, there is no option displayed in the UI.
