Re: Email notification of utility failure?

["Chris Devous" <cdevous@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

We've used Snapshot/400 to monitor for a variety of situations, it will send 
email to 
any address, which works for most beepers.

Of course, your iSeries has to have a battery backup that sends a message to a 
message queue, and you have to tell the software to monitor for that CPF 
message.  
The software can pick the message up and send the page or email, and all of 
this 
assumes that the PC running snapshot (or whatever monitoring software you use) 
has a connection to your mail server.

Also, APC's power chute business software supports email paging support on 
their 
Back-UPS, Back-UPS Pro, Smart-UPS and Matrix-UPS power supplies.
