Hi David As per the link http://www.llondel.org/ups.shtml & the final testing paragraph. I have set up a Lantech UPS similiar to your write up for your Powersure Proactive and Powersure Personal UPS's On LOW BATT it shuts down OK. BUT as with other many UPS's during the wait period from low batt to start of shutdown ... IE [SHUTDOWNCMD "/sbin/shutdown -h +20"] 20 minutes in this case. Reapplying AC power before the 20 minute mark stops the shutdown & all is normal again. This option isn't working on my setup. What happens in your setup. What I could do a run a script that cancels the shutdown. ... with " shutdown -c" . But there is no alert as to AC power being restored. Pulling power before "LOW BATTERY" there is an alert. IE from /var/log/syslog .............

In the process I learned a few things about OS X that I didn't know before. The UPS Both models of UPS have a 9-way D socket on the back with a basic contact-closure signalling arrangement that allows On Battery and Low Battery to be indicated by the closing of relay contacts. The Proactive uses relays and is polarity-independent whereas the Personal uses solid-state switching and is polarity sensitive. It also assigns a remote-shutdown function to pin 6. PIN FUNCTION 1 Low Battery (+) 2 Not Used 3 Not Used 4 UPS Off 5 UPS Ground 6 On Battery (NC)/Remote Shutdown 7 Low Battery (-) 8 On Battery (COM) (-) 9 On Battery (NO) (+)
