Re: [Apcupsd-users] Notification before shutdown Win7

[Timothe L. <li...@ac...>]

I don't use the windows version - at least, not yet.  The APC equivalent 
will hibernate the system on power-off, which prevents lost work.  
PsShutdown can be used to do that. (See 'The windows version of apcupsd' 
in the manual.)

That said, the manual points you to the event scripts in 
platforms/mingw/.  You ought to be able to call the popup.exe utility 
(bin\popup.exe) with the message you want as a quoted string.
