Ok, so the reason I keep asking about this is in case I have to actually 
implement this in our UPS.


I meant that a human could power the UPS back on. Nearly all of the UPSes I 
have worked on have momentary power buttons (either toggle on/off, or a pair of 
on and off buttons).

So, when a power-off-stay-off comes through, then the UPS *itself* shuts down 
as well, and essentially goes into a soft-off that won't respond to resumed AC 
power from the wall outlet?  And when the UPS *does* get powered back on (via a 
button press), then the power outlet for the PC will come back on as well....  
I see.  So the UPS basically has an "ignore the wall power" flag that gets set 
when you tell it stayoff, and for poweroff-return, it wouldn't ignore wall 
power, and so would come back on when AC is restored.

I understand now (I think).  Thank you for your patience in explaining.


Sincerely,
