OK, that did not work:-( Neither the `hub-ctrl power off->on' nor the 
unbind->bind of the hub did reset the USB connection enough that the OS 
would see the UPS again:-(

Stuart, did you  find an USB hub which can actually switch the power? 
Otherwise, I'll probably go down the road of creating an Arduino-based 
power-switch at least as test setup.

Thanks,
