Shutdow delay (runtime after OB LB) seems to be locked to 60 sec.
This may be set to another value, but this and load-block switching
is on my TODO list. I need another ups to do the testing.

The output from a PW5115 would show more data.

Yes, I think this is the right move. One more thing to make Linux a user 
friendly system.

The problem is time. Children, house, garden, work..... my own TODO list, so
hard to say how much i can contribute to this.
