Contents

shutdown.return
Shut down in .3 minutes and restart in .3 minutes after that.

Shut down in .3 minutes and do not return.
Extra Arguments
This driver support the following extra optional settings in the ups.conf(5).
battext=n
Default = 0, no extra battery, where n = Ampere*hour.
prgshut=n
Default = 0, no programmable shutdown; 1 to enable one.
Issues
For other APC-Microsol models, the reported voltages, currents and power will be incorrect, as the
communication protocol reports unprocessed data instead of real values, needing model-specific
post-processing by the driver. Monitoring of UPS state (on-battery/on-line, critical battery) should work
for other models, but is untested.
