Greetings Charles; I hope you had a nice Christmas, and will have a happy and prosperous new year in 2016.
You mentioned upsrw in a message earlier, so I ran it, and found the shutdown timeout was only 20 seconds. gene@coyote:~$ upsrw myups [input.transfer.high] High voltage transfer point (V) Type: STRING Value: 140 [input.transfer.low] Low voltage transfer point (V) Type: STRING Value: 88 [ups.delay.shutdown] Interval to wait after shutdown with delay command (seconds) Type: STRING Value: 20 [ups.delay.start] Interval to wait before (re)starting the load (seconds) Type: STRING Value: 30 That 20 seconds is insufficient to allow a gracefull shutdown on this system as it seems to need 40 or more seconds to begin a reboot by entering the BIOS post routine. So I tried to reset that to 120 seconds, which the battery can do nicely, and I have a 20kw in the back yard that is up and running, lights back on in 16 or 17 seconds, so is 98% moot, but found I cannot, even as root, adjust this. gene@coyote:~$ upsrw -s ups.delay.shutdown=120 myups Username (gene): gene Password: my user pw here Unexpected response from upsd: ERR ACCESS-DENIED Nut was never given a pw on this system. I, and ups however are members of group nut, and that has always seemed sufficient until now. Obviously I don't have something adequately configured, the question of course is what? Thanks.
