Hi Arjen,

I have some more results for you:

After a further day testing, I have found that the two devices behave 
differently.

To avoid any confusion, I ran the following:

wget http://www.networkupstools.org/source/2.6/nut-2.6.0.tar.gz
tar xvf nut-2.6.0.tar.gz     (note: despite the name, this is not a gzipped 
file)
cd nut-2.6.0
./configure  --prefix= --sysconfdir=/etc/ups --with-statepath=/var/run/nut --
with-user=nut --with-group=uucp --without-serial
make
cd drivers/
./usbhid-ups -DDDDD -k -a apc1500


Last few lines of output:

APC CS 500
This shuts down the APC CS 500 after 20 seconds.  (and it stays shutdown)

APC Smart-UPS 1000
If the power is left on, switches to battery and back online after 2 seconds.
If the power is off, goes to sleep after 90 seconds. (and comes back on when the 
power is connected)


Then I connected the Smart-UPS 1000 and ran:

(pwd; ps ax | grep usbhid; ./usbhid-ups -DD -u root -a apc1500) > 
APC_Smart_UPS_1000.txt 2>&1


Then again with the CS 500 connected:

(pwd; ps ax | grep usbhid; ./usbhid-ups -DD -u root -a apc1500) > APC_CS_500.txt 
2>&1

I will email the zip files to you.

Regards,
Kevin.
PS. I have also tried the 2.4.x code, which works properly with the Smart-UPS 
1000, but not with the CS 500.
