Dear Mr Claesson,
prepare for quite a long letter from me. I hope you will have time to read it. I
bestowed a whole morning on trying to identify the correct upstype. Here are the
results:

And when I disconnect the UPS from the mains, the result is:

type=KP625AP
Network UPS Tools - PowerCom and similars protocol UPS driver $ Revision: 0.5 $

Obviously there is some error. The result with Trust and KIN2200 was the same,
so I discarded them from further testing.

I hope you had time to read all that and thank you for your attention. I see
that the erroneous message of upsc "battery charge 196.9" when the UPS
is disconnected from the mains is still present. Probably powercom is not the
correct driver, what do you think?
And something else, I also carried out some experimentation with my current
upstype, KIN1500AP. At first I issued "upsdrvctl shutdown" to make
sure that the UPS recgnizes the software instruction to shut itself down. It
really shutdown itself. Then I added the text you suggested:
# shutdown the UPS
if (test -f /etc/killpower)
then
echo "Killing the power, bye!"
/usr/local/ups/bin/upsdrvctl shutdown
sleep 120
fi
#end of shutdown the UPS
to my shutdown script. It is the script /etc/rc.d/rc.6. I am running Slackware
10.2 and there is no halt.sh script. At first I put it in the script before the
killing of all processes and before unmounting the file systems. Them I
disconnected the UPS and after 30 sec the system called the rc.6 script. It
started executing, but when it came to the UPS shutdown section, it just waited
120 sec and then powered the UPS off. The rest of the script, involving
unmounting the filesystems was not executed. So when I rebooted the system, fsck
said the filesystem was not clean. Of course with reiserfs that is not a
problem, for at the next reboot everything was ok.
Then I experimented adding the script you suggested to me after the unmounting
of the filesystems. And the result was as I had anticipated-the rc.6 script
could not find the filesystem with the "upsdrvctl" command. So the
problem is where in the shutdown script shall I put the script for the UPS
shutdown, and what times shall I set, so that right after the PC shuts down
normally, the UPS goes down?
I am sending my shutdown script to you as an attachment. If you cannot receive
it, and you think you might be able to help me, tell me to send it in another
letter.
Thank you very much for your attention. I beg your pardon for wasting your time.
Regards,
Martin
