If you are using APC power/cooling products they give you some temp management and control options and allow you to perform graceful shutdowns, IIRC, but I would first start with having a failsafe cooling system in place and go from there.

We have a variety of servers (supermicro, dell), with different monitoring options (BMC, iDRAC), which give us thermal stats outside of the OS. I want the ability to gracefully shutdown the servers if the high temperature alert is tripped on the BMC or iDRAC. From reading through iDrac material, it looks like it is possible to write a script to sense the temp and then send the shutdown command. Is this the best practice? Or are there readily available utilities to help stream line the process? Right now I have alerts setup, and VPN capability to manually do it.
