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. $ upsc advice Init SSL without certificate database battery.charge: 100 battery.voltage: 13.70 battery.voltage.high: 13.00 battery.voltage.low: 10.40 battery.voltage.nominal: 12.0 device.type: ups driver.name: blazer_usb driver.parameter.pollinterval: 2 driver.parameter.port: /dev/ttyS0 driver.parameter.productid: 5161 driver.parameter.vendorid: 0665 driver.version: 2.7.2 driver.version.internal: 0.11 input.current.nominal: 3.0 input.frequency: 50.0 input.frequency.nominal: 50 input.voltage: 234.9 input.voltage.fault: 234.9 input.voltage.nominal: 230 output.voltage: 234.9 ups.beeper.status: enabled ups.delay.shutdown: 30 ups.delay.start: 180 ups.load: 18 ups.productid: 5161 ups.status: OL ups.type: offline / line interactive ups.vendorid: 0665 -- Victor Porton - http://portonvictor.org ___ Nut-upsuser mailing list Nut-upsuser@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
