I am running an Ubuntu workstation with apache2 on it. I want to be able to submit a shutdown command remotely to Ubuntu from another machine when the other system senses a power failure (while still on battery).
How can I do this?

The apache2 Ubuntu is running on a laptop, isn't it? So when the laptop have its battery lower than a fixed value, you want to be notified so you can shut it down?
So you have three steps:
- Monitoring battery and detecting the value (trigger)
- You can use APCUPSD for monitoring and sending notification using email
- you'll need postfix or any MTA local server/sender
- Send the notification
- you can use email triggered by the point 1 using monitoring software such as webmin for example or the monitoring software features, or use a script with
batmonandnotify-osd.
- you can use email triggered by the point 1 using monitoring software such as webmin for example or the monitoring software features, or use a script with
- issue the command
- If the command is manual a simple SSH command would be enough:
ssh user@ip 'command to send' - The command to send could be a script in the user local directory.
- If the command is manual a simple SSH command would be enough:
