Apcupsd plugin - tell UPS to remain off

[eponymous]

Hi

Is there any way to get APCUPSd to inform the UPS to power off and stay off, even when utility power returns?

I don't want my router to automatically power back up again after the UPS has switched off which seems to happen now.

Have you looked at these resources?? I'm in the process of connecting a UPS to my firewall and found these resources after searching the forum finding very little. looks like you can achieve your desired configuration by modifying/creating a custom conf file.

Do you need the UPS to stay off or can you just change the power setting in the bios not to resume on power?

Also, is there a reason you don't want the router to come back on?  Just curious as while I have my servers configured to stay off, I definitely want my router to come back on so that I can access the network remotely.

I think I've found out how to do this. You can override any of the events that are listed in apccontrol with your own scripts which need to exit with a status of 99

What's odd is the killpower event has its actions commented out by default yet I'm sure the UPS went into hibernate.

Either way I just need to override the killpower event to do a —poweroff

Hope this helps others.
