Not all UPSs have functionality to cycle the power outputs when the power 
returns.
And some that do require a specific command to be sent to it to enable this, 
which might need some closed-source client that only works on MS Windows.

A few years ago there was a message on the nut website asking for a boycot of 
APC because they changed the protocol and refuse to provide info on it, 
forcing people to use the APC bloatware. (Requiring Java just to talk to a 
UPS?)
