<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">When the UPS starts to run on Battery, upsmon notifies upssched, and upssched runs an "onbatt script", which sends out an alert every 15 seconds via wall.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">When the UPS is put back on line, upsmon acknowledges this change (via WALL). However, upssched does not get notified properly, so the onbatt script continues to send alerts. About 45 seconds later, upssched acknowledges the UPS change, and disengages the onbatt script.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I checked syslog, and I found these upssched error messages during that 45 second delay:</FONT>
