The BackUPS may not have that capability but in any case this is highly
inadvisable.

Once the load turns off then the UPS should turn off. Otherwise it's
battery will continue to be drained. Then the UPS eventually HAS to
turn off and when the power comes back on the UPS battery is flat - and
if the power fluctuates within a few minutes of turning on, the UPS will
not be able to hold up the load - and the server will lose power right
in the middle of being booted.

You probably think I'm full of sheet but I have 12 hours running
eseutil on a SBS 2011 server under my belt precisely because it lost
power for a few seconds during bootup that says what you are trying to
do is foolish.

If you want to join the eseutil club by all means leave the UPS on after
the server shuts down. I guess there's some he-men out there that think
that an overnight session staring at an eseutil prompt wondering if you
will ever get your mailserver back is some sort of rite-of-passage to be
striven for, me I'd just rather have my sleep.

Hello apcupsd team,
first thank you for the great software.
@first
When we use the APC Software PowerChute Personal Edition the Server gets
also a Signal to Shut down, and the UPS Powers OFF his Self after around
3 Minutes after its send the Shutdown Signal.
Thats a big Problem for us, cause the Server needs to shut down complete
around 10min. So the above Software is useless, because the UPS
Shutsdown first and kills the Server.
i got a question to your Software.
With the APC Back UPS PRO USV 1200VA - BR1200GI with
winapcupsd-3.14.14.exe 2016-05-31
we set the in the apcupsd.conf at this point
# If during a power failure, the UPS has run on batteries for TIMEOUT
# many seconds or longer, apcupsd will initiate a system shutdown.
# A value of 0 disables this timer.
#
# Note, if you have a Smart UPS, you will most likely want to disable
# this timer by setting it to zero. That way, you UPS will continue
# on batteries until either the % charge remaing drops to or below BATTERYLEVEL,
# or the remaining battery runtime drops to or below MINUTES. Of course,
# if you are testing, setting this to 60 causes a quick system shutdown
# if you pull the power plug.
# If you have an older dumb UPS, you will want to set this to less than
# the time you know you can run on batteries.
TIMEOUT 60
so fine so good, the UPS gives after 60sek a Shutdown Signal to the
Windows SBS 2011 Server and the Server begin to Shutdown after 1min..
perfekt!
How we can achieve with apcupsd that the UPS Stays alive? and Dont power
offs his self after a certain time.?
It there a switch or something in the apcupsd.conf ?
