Hi all, I've not been able to find the answer to my timer problem in the faq or 
the archives. (or google)

Basically, I can't get timers to fire. They fire ignoring the timer value, as 
if the timer was set to 0. I'm using the OpenFiler distribution, patched to the 
latest and greatest.  upsmon 2.2.2

When I pull the power plug, I see the text "Im In Battery" instantly, instead 
of after 20s. Power returned after 55 seconds. Could I be missing some 
dependency, external application, which upsmon uses as a timer?
(A side issue is that it's not using the correct variable when passing to 
upssched-cmd, but uses the notify text itself, "ONBATT", this can be seen in 
the last line from, messages, $1 is "UPS u...@localhost on line power", but 
this is not important for me, but may be used to explain why the timer is not 
working)
