Yes I have set the TIMEOUT to 30 (seconds) in /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf, and run the tests. Waited more than 3 minutes after the PC powers off, the UPS will not kill the power. > > If this does not get you somewhere, I recommend you post to the > nut-upsuser@lists.alioth.debian.org (you'll need to register first). Is the above list (nut-upsuser@lists.alioth.debian.org) also appropriate for apcupsd users? > The > developers and contributors are offering friendly advice and are very > knowledgeable on all things UPS related, including annoying bugs with firmware > that defeat reason. > > PS.

I 've been talking about sys-power/apcupsd, as I said in first post. (Should I switch to sys-power/nut?)
