DUH!! on my part. My previous response was a little
overboard.
Why not just increase the delay to close to your
ups battery's runtime.
(from kern_shutdown.c, starts on line 380)
/*
* Everything done, now reset
*/
static void
shutdown_reset(void *junk, int howto)
{
printf("Rebooting...\n");
DELAY(1000000); /* wait 1 sec for printf's to
complete and be read */
/* cpu_boot(howto); */ /* doesn't do anything
at the moment */
cpu_reset();
/* NOTREACHED */ /* assuming reset worked */
}
