Nut upsuser - Jan 2008 - Belkin F6C100-UNV and "-x wait"

I recently installed NUT 2.2.1 and set it up with a Belkin F6C100-UNV.

I can monitor it via serial (belkinunv) or USB (usbhid-ups) cable, and 
both do seem to work fine, but I would prefer USB to avoid having to add a 
PCI serial card to the machine.  I had to unplug something else to try it 
with a serial cable.

Using 'belkinunv', there's a "-x wait" option:

[ from it's man page ]

   One problem with the Belkin Universal UPS is that  it  cannot  enter  a
   soft  shutdown  (shut  down the load until AC power returns) unless the
   batteries are completely depleted. Thus, one cannot just shut  off  the
   UPS  after operating system shutdown; it will not come back on when the
   power comes back on. Therefore, the belkinunv driver  should  never  be
   used  with  the -k option. Instead, the -x wait option is provided as a
   workaround.

Is there an equivalent to "-x wait" when using the same UPS with the 
'usbhid-ups' driver?

Thanks,
   Jason

I don't think this will be needed with the usbhid-ups. Why don't you
just
try this out? Pull the mains plug from the UPS (it will now run on
batteries) and type

    # upsmon -c fsd

This will force an OB+LB situation (so that you don't have to wait until
the batteries are low). If both the UPS and the system are powered off,
you don't need this option.

Best regards, Arjen
