This is the date read from the UPS and as far as I can see, it is read-only. Maybe it's writeable, but then someone (preferably an owner) has to change the 'apc-hid.c' subdriver. I doubt it's worth the effort however. > For what it's worth, the utility that > comes with the UPS (PowerChute Personal Edition) doesn't seem to > display this information (or at least I couldn't find it.) > > I'm not too sure about ups.delay.shutdown either; a negative value > there looks strange, but maybe it has a special meaning? It has. This is a counter that counts down from a delay value. When it reaches '0', the UPS is shutdown. The value '-1' means that the counter is currently inactive. > As far as the hardware is concerned, the Back-UPS RS 800 seems to work > reasonably well for my limited needs.

Complain to the manufacturer about that.
