[Nut-upsuser] Shutdown after 5 minutes?

[Peter Selinger]

After what's been said here, and the data that Rob sent, it seems that
the UPSs are faulty; I cannot think of any reason why they should yank
the power after 5 minutes, without any warning sign, and with brand
new batteries. Even stranger that it still does this when the power is
interrupted only briefly. It does not appear to be a driver problem,
as the situation still occurs even when no computer is attached at
all.

On the other hand, did someone say that it does *not* do this under
Windows?  That seems bizarre. Perhaps there is some proactive (and
doubtlessly top-secret) command by which the driver must tell the UPS
not to shut down?

I would advise to stay away from this brand of UPS.
