[G4] APC Powerchute software!

[Harry Freeman]

Greetings ( + )!( + )

Tom the powerchute software should allow you to set the platform to do 
an automatic shutdown when ever it detects a power loss. That way if 
your on a run to Starbucks and can not respond to the power loss at 
your home (or wherever you Mac is located) then it will do an orderly 
shutdown without any intervention.

It's always best that an orderly shutdown be done rather than just 
pulling the plug. If you use this feature it's best that you don't 
leave open any application that will not respond to the "kill -9" 
command.
