I would recommend testing with a dummy load to see if the UPS operates as you expect it to. In particular, there is no standard for a "reasonable time" for shutdown. In the default configuration, NUT's upsmon program shuts the system down after the UPS reports a low battery. Your UPS may or may not allow that threshold to be configured, so there are several other options if you want to shut down after a specific time on battery, or when other conditions are reached. > My UPS is Advice PRS850. You may want to check the list archives to see if anyone else has additional information on other UPS models from this manufacturer: http://www.networkupstools.org/support.html#_mailing_lists It actually isn't on our hardware compatibility list: http://buildbot.networkupstools.org/~buildbot/cayman/docs/latest/stable-hcl.html If you post additional details (output of upsc and upsrw) someone may be able to offer more specific suggestions. -- Charles Lepple clepple@gmail _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list Nut-upsuser@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
