The documentation does suggest that you can shutdown the ups by the upsdrvclt shutdown [ups] command. Specifically in "<a href="http://www.networkupstools.org/docs/man/upsdrvctl.html" target="_blank">http://www.networkupstools.org/docs/man/upsdrvctl.html</a>" in the section commands under warning. In the "Network UPS Tools User Manual" (pdf) under section 6.3.2 in the last paragraph it is suggested to first test the /usr/local/ups/bin/upsdrvctl -t shutdown and then "upsmon -c fsd". Also this section suggests that under some circumstances you cannot rely on the shutdown sequence to issue this command.</blockquote><div>
<br></div><div>Thanks, noted.</div><div><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>However the real reason I tried "upsdrctl -c shutdown" (not the test) is that I already tested the setup with the "upsmon -c fsd". The results is that the server closes down, as expected, but ups does not shutdown, and so there is no restart of the server.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I was guessing it has to do with the particular shutdown command of the server I have, which was "<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;border-collapse:collapse;color:rgb(34,34,34)">SHUTDOWNCMD "/usr/lib/web-admin/<a href="http://backend.pl/" target="_blank" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)">backend.pl</a> power_off"". And I was trying to fix that by calling the upsdrvctl shutdown command directly from a script. </span></div>
