Thanks Charles. I forgot to put in my original email that I had done “test.battery.start.quick” as well. How long does the deep test usually take? We’ll be moving the UPS to another location in a couple of days, so just want to be sure it won’t take that long. “upscmd -l” gives me this: Instant commands supported on UPS [eaton-5px-1]: beeper.disable - Disable the UPS beeper beeper.enable - Enable the UPS beeper beeper.mute - Temporarily mute the UPS beeper beeper.off - Obsolete (use beeper.disable or beeper.mute) beeper.on - Obsolete (use beeper.enable) load.off - Turn off the load immediately load.off.delay - Turn off the load with a delay (seconds) load.on - Turn on the load immediately load.on.delay - Turn on the load with a delay (seconds) outlet.1.load.off - Turn off the load on outlet 1 immediately outlet.1.load.on - Turn on the load on outlet 1 immediately outlet.2.load.off - Turn off the load on outlet 2 immediately outlet.2.load.on - Turn on the load on outlet 2 immediately shutdown.return - Turn off the load and return when power is back shutdown.stayoff - Turn off the load and remain off shutdown.stop - Stop a shutdown in progress test.battery.start.deep - Start a deep battery test test.battery.start.quick - Start a quick battery test test.battery.stop - Stop the battery test And “upsrw” gives me this: [battery.charge.low] Remaining battery level when UPS switches to LB (percent) Type: STRING Maximum length: 5 Value: 20 [battery.charge.restart] Minimum battery level for restart after power off (percent) Type: STRING Maximum length: 3 Value: 0 [battery.energysave] Switch off when running on battery and no/low load Type: STRING Maximum length: 5 Value: no [battery.protection] Prevent deep discharge of battery Type: STRING Maximum length: 5 Value: yes [input.frequency.extended] Extended input frequency range Type: STRING Maximum length: 5 Value: no [input.sensitivity] Input power sensitivity Type: STRING Maximum length: 10 Value: normal [input.transfer.boost.low] Low voltage boosting transfer point (V) Type: STRING Maximum length: 5 Value: 184 [input.transfer.high] High voltage transfer point (V) Type: STRING Maximum length: 5 Value: 294 [input.transfer.low] Low voltage transfer point (V) Type: STRING Maximum length: 5 Value: 160 [input.transfer.trim.high] High voltage trimming transfer point (V) Type: STRING Maximum length: 5 Value: 265 [input.voltage.extended] Extended input voltage range Type: STRING Maximum length: 5 Value: no [outlet.1.autoswitch.charge.low] Remaining battery level to power off this outlet (percent) Type: STRING Maximum length: 3 Value: 0 [outlet.1.delay.shutdown] Interval to wait before shutting down this outlet (seconds) Type: STRING Maximum length: 5 Value: 65535 [outlet.1.delay.start] Interval to wait before restarting this outlet (seconds) Type: STRING Maximum length: 5 Value: 3 [outlet.1.desc] Outlet description Type: STRING Maximum length: 20 Value: PowerShare Outlet 1 [outlet.2.autoswitch.charge.low] Remaining battery level to power off this outlet (percent) Type: STRING Maximum length: 3 Value: 0 [outlet.2.delay.shutdown] Interval to wait before shutting down this outlet (seconds) Type: STRING Maximum length: 5 Value: 65535 [outlet.2.delay.start] Interval to wait before restarting this outlet (seconds) Type: STRING Maximum length: 5 Value: 6 [outlet.2.desc] Outlet description Type: STRING Maximum length: 20 Value: PowerShare Outlet 2 [outlet.desc] Outlet description Type: STRING Maximum length: 20 Value: Main Outlet [output.voltage.nominal] Nominal output voltage (V) Type: ENUM Option: "200" Option: "208" Option: "220" Option: "230" SELECTED Option: "240" [ups.delay.shutdown] Interval to wait after shutdown with delay command (seconds) Type: STRING Maximum length: 10 Value: 20 [ups.delay.start] Interval to wait before (re)starting the load (seconds) Type: STRING Maximum length: 10 Value: 30 [ups.load.high] Load when UPS switches to overload condition (percent) Type: STRING Maximum length: 5 Value: 105 [ups.shutdown] Description unavailable Type: ENUM Option: "disabled" Option: "enabled" SELECTED [ups.start.auto] UPS starts when mains is (re)applied Type: STRING Maximum length: 5 Value: yes [ups.start.battery] Allow to start UPS from battery Type: STRING Maximum length: 5 Value: yes [ups.start.reboot] UPS reboots when power returns during shutdown delay Type: STRING Maximum length: 5 Value: yes [ups.test.interval] Interval between self tests (seconds) Type: STRING Maximum length: 8 Value: 604800 > >> >> And here’s the output from /usr/local/nut/bin/usbhid-ups -DD -a <ups-name> >> >> I had to ^C it after a bit as it was just retrying.

OK, that’s good to know.
