Cyperpower UPS script for ReadyNAS Duo
I recently bought a UPS system for my SOHO setup. I picked the Cyberpower 1500 PSW because it could shut down NAS attached to my network. They show it is able to do, and even provide a example of how...
I'll expand on my situation.
The DATA link from the UPS is attached to my WIN 7 PC, the UPS manual says that the software should send a script to the NAS when it is set to place the PC in the hibernate state.

The software that is in their example does not work with the ReadyNAS Duo.
I did find a script that works from a CMD prompt .

The script work with no problems, hit enter and within 2 minutes the NAS powers off with no intervention required by the user. Checking the logs afterwards show a good shutdown was performed.
Trying to use this script in place of the UPS software also does not work.
When I went looking for why this might be happening I found the following, which indicates that where you are told to place the script is incorrect, but idea of where else it should be inserted.
C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberPower PowerPanel Personal Edition>shutdownNASBox -h
PAPASNAS -u admin -p xxxxxxxxxxxxx
'shutdownNASBox' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
I think I have now covered everything that I have found so far.
