===> What happens if power returns AFTER this final decision, but BEFORE the system is actually shut down? The time frame can be over a minute.<=== Interesting! This is the most I can recall being discussed about UPS for the past year. Glad we are doing it, but I still don't see the problem here. Once the script turns over to the "shutdown -p now", doesn't apcupsd exit (along with the other shutdowns) and stop monitoring..??? Or, am I missing something here (probably)? Best regards, Jack L.
