OK, now for the next question. (I hate to keep bothering everyone with trivial questions.)
I just installed a UPS unit that is being recognized by the AstLinux status monitor tab on the GUI but I don't see any settings for what to do when the power goes out. (Except for shutting down the UPS on a power failure.) Where does one set the conditions where AstLinux shuts itself down? Or is this done with the regular NUT configuration files?
