If the timeout is configurable, wouldn't be a reasonable option to move the command away from the final seconds and use a larger timeout? I mean, if the timeout is 5 minutes, the system has 5 minutes to shut down everything. It will probably do everything in 1 minute and poweroff. After additional 4 minutes the UPS will power down. I suppose these 4 minutes of "no-load" are not an issue. -- Roberto Ragusa mail at robertoragusa.it -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
