-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Debian-user,
And the answer is, "It doesn't do that." It's a failure of the USB connected UPS, which I guess means that's just the way it is. Thank you for all the help and advice, may your power never spike, Curt- Paul Cartwright <deb...@pcartwright.com> wrote: ======= http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/apcupsd-usb. 6.3 Creating the UPS Powerdown Script Normally, the last thing that needs to happen before the system shuts down is to power off the UPS. Unfortunately, one of the known limitations of apcupsd interfacing to a USB UPS is that the "--killpower" option to apcupsd doesn't work, which means that it is not possible to power off a USB UPS. Although the apcupsd documentation states that the UPS should shut itself down one to two minutes after the system, I did not observe this in my testing. In my case, the UPS continued to supply power to the computer until the batteries drained to a critically low level. Of course, this wasn't a problem because the system had already been shut down. ======= - -- Those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iQEVAwUBTUgf/i9Y35yItIgBAQKcPwf6Awa1pbqiKxE82FDdGKE36BYFpApNFfS3 fRJB6Ua2Z3W/gJf8a5mDKxIhZ/hKAMlnBr0vKr8ugMs1d5nEXpZ8tOM7TlySiTQT mG2XEsFvnqWVKJNAsLISB9tkeBVRwppwZWwjf7L/stBcu0GVLtzNZ9yhBRUbASk6 nO6hlihlj/x1I126S3xgOGtw29cM6aZzVvW3SzpcYn5EAFoKcMWcmmsnc/LJizqa 2/Dl3hGDITr6ZnJNBdBKGr0FtP7o2fIihCd7iIX0flYxCy5Yk6WxwKqgZlxyUWch D6X+QFn0ekhKmAYueFXctn1cyr5T3O5daMO1LK5HkcndhKH5sOSftA== =qs6v -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
