Package: apcupsd Version: 3.10.17-2 When power is back after the beginning of the shutdown and before the stopping of apcupsd daemon (20 seconds interval for my system), then the UPS never stops power and, as a result, the computer never restarts.
I think that apcupsd should be inactive after shutdown has begun ie should be stopped in the "doshutdown" of /etc/apcupsd/apccontrol A shutdown can never be cancelled after it has begun. I think that the file "/etc/apcupsd/powerfail" should never been removed by apcupsd after shutdown has begun.
