Notification of Power Failure? - Sends shivers down my back 1

[SanYsidro]

One of my remote sites is in an area that has suffered from recent power failures. I installed a UPS, but once the extent of the failure lasted beyond the life of the UPS. Thank God for backups... I seem to recall that there is a print command that will tell me when the last cold start occurred, but I can't remember what it is at the moment. Anyone got this on the tip of their tounge?
Thanks in Advance

two places to try. prt ahst, that should tell you when it came up..(either 21 or 22) i don't use it.. the one i do use is ld 117 prt sel 500...the upper end ups's have a data port that you can network and get history files and an alarm monitor that will notify you of power fail.. the same thing is avaible form your switch, i know it doesn't always help to know when they are going down.. but it gives me time to lock the door to the switchroom

Thanks again John. Although it is usually an issue of water under the bridge (switch goes down while the school is closed), it gives me a headsup on message waiting light status - and heads off a lot (but not all) complaints.
