[Nut-upsuser] Are UPS shutdown commands automatically sent?

[Rob Groner]

Roger,

Your guide is already my go-to source, especially since openSUSE 13.1 is our currently supported system (though I'm doing this testing on Porteus due to its file system resilience).  It's AWESOME, btw.  Very helpful.

I'll spend some time tomorrow going through chapter 6 and trying again.

Sincerely,

I had thought I read somewhere that these commands are sent automatically when “upsmon –c fsd” happens…but I can’t find that, nor can I find any clear instructions on where I would put the commands to tell the UPS to start its shutdown and restart timers.

Hi, I went through the same learning curve.  I wrote up my notes at http://rogerprice.org/NUT.html Perhaps there is something there that could help you.  Best Regards, Roger
