Multiple Server Shutdown (APCRDOWN.NLM) The purpose of this file is to shut down remote multiple NetWare servers. To use this NLM, two files need to be created: a. A file called apcrdown.ini b. An .ncf file - called apc_sd.ncf as an example. Since both files are ASCII files, any text editor will allow you to create these files. 1. To create the apcrdown.ini file, follow the steps below: a. Create a subdirectory, preferably within the PowerChute installation directory. Actually, you can create a directory anywhere on your system except in the \public directory. b. This subdirectory should be accessible by either the system supervisor or a user with supervisor equivalence. This is because the apcrdown.ini file contains supervisor (or equivalent) passwords for servers and should be kept only where someone with supervisory privileges can access it. c. The apcrdown.ini should be created in this directory. d. Each line of the apcrdown.ini should be in the following format: servername supervisor_equivalent_name password where servername is the name of the remote server to be shut down, supervisor_equivalent_name is the name of a user with supervisor equivalence on the remote server, and password is the password for that user on the remote server. If you have a network of five servers and wish to shut all five down, the apcrdown.ini should contain five lines in the above format. Example The remote fileserver is called mfg_srv_1, the user name is supervisor and password is widget. The format for the apcrdown.ini would be as follows: mfg_srv_1 supervisor widget 2. The apc_sd.ncf should follow the format below: Load APCRDOWN path_to_ini where path_to_ini is the path where the apcrdown.ini file is located. For example, the PowerChute installation directory is sys:\pwrchute. The apcrdown.ini file is located in sys:\pwrchute\down. The .ncf file should contain the following line: Load APCRDOWN sys:\pwrchute\down
