Nut upsuser - May 2008 - Question about startup script

Hello,
I find in shutdown.txt file that before system boot after a power failure,
it's better to check powerdown flag to be sure and pausing in the startup
script to let the batteries recharge with filesystem.
So i want to know which startup script is concerned? For the system or for nut?
Thanks to explanation.

If I understand your question, it would be the system startup script.  
By the time that the NUT startup script runs, filesystems have  
probably been mounted read-write already.

I am not sure how many of us have actually modified the system  
startup scripts in this way - there are several UPSes out there that  
will do this for you in hardware (that is, the outlets are not turned  
on until the battery has charged past a certain threshold).

Of course, the exact details will vary from system to system.
