I have an APC UPS connected to my iMac that's set to shutdown after 1 minute of running on UPS power. I also have a Windows 10 PC plugged into the UPS that I'd like shut down as well. Is there a way to send a shutdown command from my Mac to the Windows 10 PC telling it to shut down as well when a power loss is detected?

command:You can then use a tool like Power Manager to trigger the

command when your UPS detects the power failure.I work on Power Manager, so feel free to ask technical questions.
