How do I have a Server send my workstation an alert when it shuts down?

-

we have rack containing 6 servers (including our dc) running server 2008 r2 connected apc ups. have issue there emergency shutoff switch in 1 of classrooms gets "accidentally bumped into" on occasions, once month. shutoff switch on same circuit breaker our servers ups connected (no can not moved). when breaker trips, ups switches on battery power, , servers have hour until ups looses battery power , shut down. phone calls saying network down. have go electrical room, switch breaker on, go server room , power on servers again. 

i need resolution problem let me know when servers go down, can run on , them , running in time before flooded phone calls. there 200 computers on network it's pretty big deal when our file shares, , dc go down. found software "powerchute business edition" can download apc free. reading documentation looks if connect serial cable 1 of servers ups, , install software on admin workstation and receive an alert when ups switches battery power. give me enough time run on , switch breaker on in time save network. however, asked apc , said software not work way, , monitoring power usage.

so, i'm wondering if there solution using kind of event monitoring, maybe have scheduled task when sees event alert me on workstation. don't know how or if possible.  ideas? 

hi,

do have suggestions software?
1. contact server vendor related server management software dell ita or hpsim.
2. deploy other free system monitor tool nagios or cacti. need maintain these system yourself.
