</div>The power was removed and the shutdown script calls 'upsdrvctl stop' and then 'upsdrvctl shutdown' - is that the right thing to do?<br></blockquote><div><br>the very right thing to do is to first fully stop NUT (including driver(s), upsd and upsmon).<br>

It seems the UPS does not turn itself off properly.<br></blockquote><div><br>
depending on the exact timing of your sequence, you may be running into a
race condition, where the previous shut driver is not yet stop, and the
new ('shutdown') instance is already started.<br>
<br>
also, it seems your battery.charge.low is set to 50. can you please
confirm it, since it's not in ups.conf (so probably done through upsrw)?<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<br>
</div>Just before, the script is called during shutdown but everything is still RW. FreeBSD does not remount things RO and run some scripts, hence the offdelay/ondelay being relatively large.<br></blockquote></div><br>so there are 2 things:<br>
1) fix the shutoff sequence to have the UPS powered off when needed<br>2) solve the battery.charge.restart issue<br clear="all"><br>@Fred: could you please test the following with an EX 11 RT:<br>1) simple shutoff (Ie, just call "newmge-shut -k..." or "upsdrvctl shutdown") and check that the UPS is powered off,<br>
2) check that "battery.charge.restart" variable is available on this unit, and behaving correctly (Ie, if set to 30, the UPS will restart only once battery.charge reaches 30 %).<br><br>cheers,<br>Arnaud<br>-- <br>
