Works Great I set the software to shutdown with 5 minutes of battery power remaining. The computer does a "shutdown now" to shutdown The 5 minutes goes by and the power goes out and the machine powers off. 10 minutes later the power comes back on and the machine comes back on. However, I set the software to shutdown with 5 minutes of battery power remaining. The computer does a "shutdown now" to shutdown 3 minutes goes by and the power comes back on. The machine is already in the shutdown ready mode How does the machine know to restart itself if the power comes back on after it has shutdown but before the battery in the UPS stops working? cheers craig To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
