Modifying NUT UPS shutdown delay.

Hello All!

I’ve recently configured a new Power Shield Defender 650VA UPS on my home SME server and it is working well. I would, however, like to change the shutdown behavior of the server.

At the moment, when the UPS goes to battery, the server continues to operate until the UPS sends the “battery low” warning, at which point it auto-shuts down. I would like to change the configuration so that the server will shut down 2 minutes after receiving the “on battery” signal.

What is the best way to achieve this?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. For those Aussies who are thinking about getting one of these UPS’, I configured NUT to use the megatec_usb driver and set the port to “auto”.
