It may be a log easier to do the testing with the upscmd
'shutdown.return' (Smart-UPS 1000) and 'shutdown.reboot' (CS-500)
while the upsd server is running. During testing, it allows you to run
an instance of upslog (see 'man 8 upslog') so that you'll be able to
see the 'ups.timer.*' variables counting down. I suspect that the
current mapping might be wrong.
Also note that the (re)start delay set in the Smart-UPS 1000 is
presently set to 180 seconds, so you may have to wait a little longer
that expected for the output to be switched on after the power returns.
Thanks Arjen. I've spent a little more time on it today and can confirm
that shutdown.reboot works as expected with the Smart-UPS 1000. (I only
tested this by commenting out the shutdown.return code in the usbhid-ups
driver) I will try with the upscmd command tomorrow.
This matches and confirms the behaviour of the 2.4 versions.
It is easy to tell when this is working properly, as both of the units
have a flashing light sequence that signifies they are going into sleep
mode.
As an aside, I gather that all the APC units will now switch into sleep
mode automatically at a specific low battery state, so actually
switching off as a last resort may be counter productive.
I haven't been able to get the CS 500 into sleep mode at all, apart from
by using the old hidups driver that I modified to setvalue(0x86007c, 1)
The 2.6 version shutdown.reboot definitely does not work - it doesn't
seem to have any effect at all.
I will post the further information you have asked for tomorrow and also
experiment with the upslog. I haven't seen output matching 'ups.timer'
from this before, there must be a verbose command I haven't found yet.
Regards,
Kevin.
