Actually, I mistyped that paragraph. What I meant was, that powstatd, watching ttyS1, reports low power and shuts down. > Is the UPS fully charged?

For "watch ttyS0" CTS DSR DCD RNG DTR RTS STATUS 1 1 0 0 0 1 OK 1 1 0 0 0 1 OK (etc.) For "watch ttyS1" 0 0 0 0 0 1 LOW 0 0 0 0 0 1 LOW (etc.) Changing values (0 or 1) for DTR/RTS had no effect. The lamp I had plugged into the UPS never even blinked. Although after rereading the man page, it seems to say that the UPS may ignore a -k command if fully charged. MaryK
