Hi,

[I've cc'ed back upsuser for info]

This problem is solved in 2.0.4-pre2.

yipee ;-)

Made two tests:
> #1
> 11:02:21  unplug power cord
> 11:02:29  mge-shut -DDDDD -x ondelay=30 -DDDDD -k /dev/ttyS1
> 11:03:11  outlets -> OFF
> 11:03:37  UPS -> OFF
> 11:04:10  replugged
> 11:04:22  outlets -> ON
>
> #2
> 11:10:20  unplug power cord
> 11:10:23  mge-shut -DDDDD -x ondelay=30 -DDDDD -k /dev/ttyS1
> 11:11:04  outlets -> OFF
> 11:11:26  UPS -> OFF
> 11:18:05  replugged
> 11:18:16  outlets -> ON

no, and that's due to a lack of feature in mge-shut (exponent management).
Check this for an explanation:

As told before, I'm putting about all my effort in 2.2, and for this case,
in mge-shut rewritte...

- Is there a way to set the time between return of mains ("replug") and

no, you need either need to play with:
- ondelay (knowing that the UPS will power up after ondelay - offdelay). In
the present case, offdelay is 20 sec, and ondelay is 30 sec, the UPS powers
up ~ 10 sec after the power restoration).
- outlets. Check:

http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/nut-upsuser/2006-July/001271.html

Note that the last allows finer startup sequences...

- When do you expect nut-2.0.4 becoming final?


by friday. I was just waiting to solve your case, and to finish another task
to get a bit of time.

Thanks again,


thanks for your patience, and for choosing MGE ;-)
