Don't use this, unless this is really needed! It is redundant for this  
driver and you risk that if we ever change these, it will break your  
installation. These keywords should only be used to use devices that  
are not already supported by this driver out of the box. Yours is, so  
you shouldn't use them.

Upgrade to nut-2.4.0 where this has been fixed. We used to expect a  
timeout after sending the shutdown.return command, but in case a USB  
interface is used, we should look for an error instead. This has been  
corrected.

Via 'upsdrvctl shutdown' I presume? Note that this will call the  
driver with the same '-k' option as used during your previous  
debugging commands so if you want to see what is happening, use

     bin/blazer_usb -a unitek -u root -x ondelay=2 -k -DDD

instead.

That's outside of our control. After sending 'S01R0003' to the UPS, it  
should switch off in one minute (S01) and switch back on after three  
minutes (R0003). If the line power is still gone at the time the  
restart timer elapsed, the UPS will wait until the power returns.

It already uses the shutdown.return command (see the debug output), so  
you can't change that.
