Dell UPS 1000T - Manual (Page 52)

Configuration 52
Here is an example to play sound alarms on events:
1 Create a batch command file containing the command:
mplay32.exe /play /close C:/WINDOWS/Media/<sound>.wav
2 Create an action of type command calling this batch file.
Windows
For Windows, the program is executed under the SYSTEM account. For the correct execution of some
privileged commands, you may have to apply the following procedure:
• It may be necessary to modify the context before certain actions can be run.
• To allow a user to run specific tools and programs with permissions that are different from those
assigned to the user's account, use the Windows “RunAs” command, which allows you to save the
password (Windows XP Service Pac 2 and more recent versions).
• Use the following Microsoft command:
runas /profile /user:<my login> /savecred <my_program.exe>
• On first execution, a password is required. It is saved for subsequent executions.
Linux
For Linux, the Dell ULNM process is running under root privilege (sudo command is not needed to
execute a program or shell script).
Notification Action Type
The Notification action (alarm box notification) is active by default (see Figure 33).
