Is it possible to use the SensorProbe2 to shutdown a series of three servers in a small server room?

Detailed Question: 
A quick question regarding the sensorProbe2 Environment Monitor. Is it possible to use this device to shutdown a series of three servers in a small server room? I need a device to monitor the temperature and to initiate shutdown in 3 servers in case of air conditioning failure (even if it is capable of just running a shutdown script)

Not directly or easily. Neither of the SensorProbe series products support switching off servers directly. It could be possible to send an email to a server and then have a job on the server wait for alert emails and then trigger the shutdown script. The AKCP SecurityProbe8 would be the solution of choice for this function.

The SecurityProbe8 provides a more direct solution as it is has a feature enabling it to shut down one or more servers. There is also a notification wizard for configuring the alarms. In this case you would need a temperature probe, the alarm could then be configured to execute a series of shutdowns when the temperature goes above a given threshold.
