Hi, I recently setup upsd to work with my APC Smart UPS 2200. It seems to poll the system okay (after I disabled "poll status") and reacts to line failures and restorations. However, from looking at the config file I've only been able to figure out how to make the system shutdown after X amount of time has passed since the UPS went to battery. I'd much rather have the system shutdown when the battery gets down to like 5% charge or X minutes before out-of-battery. Has anyone figured out any way to do this? Also, is load a percentage? If so, how is it measured -- by kva? I'm wondering because with a slightly less than 5% load, if that's kvas, then on a Smart UPS 2200 that should be about 125kva. 125kva on a SmartUPS 2200 is listed on APC's web site to last 298 minutes or so, however, from my tests, it seems to go much faster. About 15% every 20 minutes, or a total time of about 2.5 hours. Any ideas if I'm missing something or doing somethign wrong here? Or is there something wrong with my UPS/batteries?
