Charles, Thanks for your reply, however..

That would be reasonable. If this is the intent then I suggest that that be said in the description of ups.start.auto in nut_names.txt. > That said, I'll defer to someone who knows the specifics of the Eaton > hardware for information on how it should work. > The UPS firmware has a lot > of leeway in how the commands and settings are interpreted. My experience so far with the Evolution 1550 is that shutdown.stayoff only works correctly if ups.start.auto=no and that shutdown.return only works correctly if ups.start.auto=yes. Given that, shouldn't the NUT driver for this UPS set ups.start.auto as part of these shutdown commands?
