Hi there!

I don't know if you are able to help me. Have tried almost everything
at this point..

I recently switched from a BlueWalker(Powerwalker?) PW UPS VI2000 LCD
2000VA offline UPS to a BlueWalker(Powerwalker?) PW UPS VFI 1500 LCD
1500VA Online UPS.

Seems like the driver is accepting both, however, the shutdown command
wont work. And this is what I get when i run upsdrvctl shutdown
<ups-name>:

Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.6.3
Network UPS Tools - Megatec/Q1 protocol USB driver 0.04 (2.6.3)
Initiating UPS shutdown
instcmd: command [shutdown.stop] failed
instcmd: command [shutdown.stop] failed
instcmd: command [shutdown.stop] failed
Shutdown failed!
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)

On my old UPS the whole shutdown process works like a charm with both
Server and UPS shutdown. Now i am stuck with UPS running "forever"..

Here is my output from upsc powerwalker:

battery.voltage.nominal: 36.0

ups.status: OL

Since the driver seems to be working very well on my other UPS and
guess this could be a driver issue. System running is Linux
3.5.0-23-generic #35~precise1-Ubuntu SMP x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 and all
programs are installed from Ubuntu's repository

Have spent many hours now trying to solve this.. I really hope you can
give me some advice here.

Many thanks and regards
