My main concern is what UPS variables can I control via NUT? I recently tried to change the shutdown delay of my UPS. Even though upsc displays the value of the shutdown delay, it cannot be changed. _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
