Thanks for that, Charles. The "ignorelb" setting did exactly what I needed.
Although, as it turns out, I didn't need it :-/ I'm new to NUT so this is a new
install and I didn't know that the driver would actually shutdown the UPS; this
is why the power ran out before the shutdown of my remote systems had
completed. By disabling that functionality, the original 5 mins was sufficient.
I don't need the UPS shutdown functionality, I just need everything cleanly
shutdown before the battery runs out.
Thanks again.
