[gentoo-user] apcupsd to recycle power

[Thanasis <thanasis@asyr.hopto.org>]

I have an APC SC620I, which in case of power failure, it successfully 
initiates a shutdown to the connected (via SMART cable) PC, but if the 
mains power returns, the UPS does not recycle the power to the PC, and 
consequently the PC stays off.

Regardless if the mains power returns soon after the UPS has initiated a 
shutdown to the PC, shouldn't the UPS recycle the power anyway, so that 
the PC comes back on as set in BIOS?

Am I missing something in the configuration or the daemons that should
be running?
