Nut upsuser - May 2016 - cyberpower ups need to manully turn on the switch

Hi

I am using centos 6.3, and nut-2.6.5-2.el6.x86_64.

could you explain why not sending "a delayed command to the UPS to turn it
off" may cause that issue?

I saw:

ups.delay.shutdown: 20
ups.delay.start: 30

is it something related?

thanks

You need to stop the UPS from beeping.  Only then can you get a clear 
restart when power returns.  To stop the UPS from beeping, you must turn 
it off.

Yes, they are related: the two ups.delay values are used by the program 
which turns off the UPS.  This program is called by by script nutshutdown 
which is part of the nut package.  Do you have this script installed?

What does command "systemctl status nutshutdown" report?

Hi

centos 6.3 uses traditional SysV script ( not systemctl)

here is the /etc/init.d/ups ( script) assuming it similar to nutshutdown
