Nut upsuser - Jul 2012 - UPS restart delay

Hi,
I have an Eaton/MGE EX 11 RT UPS (uses the mge-shut driver) and while I was
testing it I found that it would turn back on straight after power was restored.

I had a look but I couldn't find a setting which would let me tell it to
charge to (say) 50% before turning the load back on.

Does anyone know if this is possible? A setting like this would provide some
hysteresis for successive power failures which would be handy to have :)

Thanks.

I don't know about that specific hardware, but the variables which would
control this are battery.charge.restart ("Minimum battery level for UPS
restart after power-off") and ups.delay.start ("Interval to wait
before restarting the load (seconds)"). Check the output of "upsrw
<ups>" to see if that variable is supported with your combination of
UPS and driver.

Which version of NUT are you using? There might be a newmge-shut driver included
as well.
