[Nut-upsuser] Ups not shutting down

Yes. It looks like your UPS doesn't respond to that at all.

That is bad.

That is really bad. I just peeked in the sources and noticed that the
default for offdelay is zero (0). From other, unrelated UPSes, I know that
some require a non-zero argument here. You might try passing the
'offdelay' to the driver and set it to '1' for instance, to see if your
UPS powers off then.

Changes are that your UPS requires a special sequence to power down, one
that we currently don't know of. If software was provided with this UPS by
the manufacturer (most likely for Windows), you could try and sniff
whatever it is sending to reboot the UPS or shut it down. Portmon is your
friend here.

If all else fails, your could use a method that is described in the FAQ.
After sending the 'upsdrvctl shutdown' command in the halt script, wait
for about 10 minutes and then reboot. If the UPS is really on battery,
this is probably sufficient to drain the batteries completely and make it
shutdown by itself. If the mains has returned in the mean time, it will
just reboot. This is a huge kludge though.

Best regards, Arjen
