<div dir="auto">Ok, gotcha, I did that. I believe Ubuntu uses Bash for user sessions and Dash fornscripts, so followed your instructions for Dash. I put the getUPStatus bits in .bashrc and tested in Terminal and got:<br>
<br>
UPS status is [OL]:100<br>
<br>
So I went ahead and put your SHUTDOWNCMD in upsmon.conf. I think it should be working now....</div>

<br>
Yes, you replace <myups> with the address of your UPS, for example<br>
"ups@192.168.x.y". Are you using Dash or Bash? If it's Dash, the function<br>
getUPSstatus probably goes into .profile .<br>
<br>
Test on the command line before modifying SHUTDOWNCMD by typing the commands<br>
<br>
getUPSstatus <myups><br>
echo "UPS status is $UPSstatus"<br>
<br>
You should see "UPS status is [OL]:100".<br>
