That's ok. I quite understand. Thank you for all your help so far.

Thank you. I will try that and see what happens.

I know it's very old code, but if it helps at all I know that this 
modified shutdown function in hidups works:

void upsdrv_shutdown(void)
{
         /* XXX: replace with a proper shutdown function
         fatalx("shutdown not supported"); */

         /* 1) set DelayBeforeStartup */
         if (getval ("ondelay"))
                 ondelay = atoi (getval ("ondelay"));

         /* setvalue(UPS_WAKEDELAY, ondelay); */ /* commented out this 
line for APC CS 500 */

         /* 2) set DelayBeforeShutdown */
         if (getval ("offdelay"))
                 offdelay = atoi (getval ("offdelay"));

         /* setvalue(UPS_GRACEDELAY, offdelay); */
         setvalue(0xff86007c, 1); /* changed this line for APC CS 500 */
}

Thanks again, I will have a look.
