I need to do a simulated power failure, to verify that it will in fact shutdown the box after 2 minutes!
Plug the PC into a stable power source, let the same PC monitor the UPS. Unplug the UPS and place a load on it, watch what it instructs the PC to do :)
Check your halt scripts for a command to drop the power in the UPS *after* your root remounts ro and hopefully your ups supports this and your bios powers up after power returns so when the outage is over, everything returns to normal.
Still curious about nut and apcupsd and learning how to package. Thanks to everyone who replied!
I would be as well:) Apcupsd and NUT are both stable, popular and well documented projects. I am not sure about the one you are using...
