By "Power off the UPS", do you mean kill the power being provided by the
UPS to the PC? The UPS is actually still powered on, right?

I'll run this once I get home and report what happens. The last time I
did run this command, I was still using the 2.2.0 version of NUT. At
that time, it sent the shutdown command to the PC (which shutdown
cleanly) but didn't change the state of the power supplied to the PC.

By "SVN" do you mean Subversion? I don't have subversion installed,
and so I've been working with NUT sources which I've downloaded.

If so, I'm not opposed to doing this, but I just have a few questions
about getting rolling with subversion (if you don't mind me asking them
here - or perhaps off-line).

Thanks,
