Re: [MLUG] UPS (was 486SX lease on life?)

["Jason Sessler" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

The APC software will watch for the UPS to get low before attempting to
shutdown.

Even after the APC software has sent a shutdown request (Normally sets it
for 5 mins.), if the power comes back on it will stop the shutdown and go
back to normal.

I do not know about powerd, never really used it.
