[Nut-upsuser] APC Smart-UPS 3000XL: Compatible/Any good?

Hello list. I'm contemplating buying new batteries and putting an older APC Smart-UPS 3000XL back into service. Would that work well with NUT? Any drawbacks to consider? Thank you, Tobias -- Tobias Balle-Petersen Kontrapunkt Group / System Administ

[Nut-upsuser] NUT 2.0.4-4 - Debian stable - /etc/killpower not created?

Hello I'm testing the functionality of my NUT-setup (NUT 2.0.4-4 - Debian stable). The system is connected to the UPS, but is not powered by it. When running "upsmon -c fsd", upsmon says "Auto logout and shutdown proceeding". This is all well and good, but I never see the machine waiting f

[Nut-upsuser] Automatic restart if power is restored after automatic shutdown?

Hello I'm wondering what happens in this scenario: There is a power failure. UPS supports machines for some time. NUT tells all machines to shutdown. Power is restored after machines have shut down but before UPS battery runs out. The power is thus never lost but the machines were shut down.
