...load (seconds) Type: STRING Value: 30 That 20 seconds is insufficient to allow a gracefull shutdown on this system as it seems to need 40 or more seconds to begin a reboot by entering the BIOS post routine. So I tried to reset that to 120 seconds, which the battery can do nicely, and I have a 20kw in the back yard that is up and running, lights back on in 16 or 17 seconds, so is 98% moot, but found I cannot, even as root, adjust this. gene at coyote:~$ upsrw -s ups.delay.shutdown=120 myups Username (gene): gene Password: my user pw here Unexpected response from upsd: ERR ACCESS-DENIED Nu...

...s dying of COPD. Leave your ups setup as is but for under $10k (USD), have an automatic home sized standby generator installed to run the important stuff, then your power outages won't last more than startup lags, 5 or 8 seconds. Because we have central air, I bought the biggest generac, 20kw, nat gas powered version about 13 years back, but generac hasn't answered the phone in 3 or 4 years, & the controller died a few months back so the label got changed from generac to kohler, same 20kw rating. So I have more than $10k usd in it now, but you should be able to src a smalle...

Greetings all; I expect that I may not have the shutdown properly configured, but my site was subjected to some bad weather related intermittent power losses a week+ back, and I have an automatic standby plant, a 20kw, that usuall fires up and has the lights back on in 7 or 8 seconds. So while the power folks were reclosing substation breakers to see where the next tree limb was shorting things out, the standby was shut down and then restarted quickly 3 or 4 times. Somewhere in all the bounces, the UPS, a...

...t as it switches back to line power. The comparative voltage level at the switchback point is a pretty good indication of the battery condition, and I think that could be used to trigger an "I need a new battery" email message well ahead of an unexpected total fail shutdown. I have a 20kw nat gas fired standby generator thats typically live in 5 seconds since the Mrs. has COPD, so I have never set that up here, but I believe you can find that in the Nut docs. Unless its been elided in the last 15 years. :( Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense...

But I should preface this with the fact that I have a 20kw nat gas fired standby with a sub 10 second startup time in the back yard. The ups really should be smart enough to take a delayed shutdown command and be able to do without further commanding from the monitoring nut running machine, something I would think on the minute or minute-thirty delay...

This was very helpful for me, thank you!

Cheers all, TL;DR version: I've recently found that at least on my test box the `LISTEN *` line had only set up an IPv4 `0.0.0.0` listener but not an IPv6 `::0` listener for `upsd`. In fact, at least on a "dual-stack" system, it seems impossible to bind to both - so depending on binding order I either lose IPv6 or lose IPv4 directly (but have it practically as IPv4-over-IPv6).

But runs normally if started. On a rpi4 running an uptodate raspbian buster, how do I set it to auto start at boot time? Thanks.
