If the a battery low is received, the system which is connected to the 
UPS initiates a shutdown successfully. However, the UPS does not power 
off as configured with offdelay and it does not power up as configured 
with ondelay. So it seems that a "upscmd <upsname> shutdown.return 1" 
should definitely be used.

Taking into account your response about having SHUTDOWNCMD point to a 
.bat file, I was considering modifying SHUTDOWNCMD to point to 
myown.bat, suitibly modified to include a call to shutdown.return, as 
follows:
SHUTDOWNCMD "C:\\myown.bat"

...where myown.bat would contain the following:
myown.bat:
========================================
REM First start shutdown timers for UPS
<pathToUpscmc>\upscmd <upsname> shutdown.return 1

REM Needed sending a command to power
REM down my ESXi server elsewhere (different UPS)
SSH cmd here blah blah

REM Finally initiate local system shutdown
C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe -s -t 0
========================================

What do you think? Any caveats I should possibly watch out?

BR,


Michail.-
