Hi

This is a bug in Powerware driver. I'll take a look at this next week.

Regards,
Olli

"always".  My previous cvs co was approx mid-December.

I've never seen those.  Currently (UPS on mains):
ups.status: FLOATING

Pull the plug, and it stays on FLOATING.  But I've also seen it 
say
RESTING.  Never OL/OB/LB.  I guess that might have something to do 
with
it, eh?  :-)  So it would appear that at least it's probably not a
config issue.

A minute or so after plugging it back in (I unplugged to see what 
it
would say, just to be sure) I see CHARGING.

Thanks, you've at least given me back a few SAN points.

What can I do to help resolve 
this?

Mike
