My scripts use shutdown -p just fine (rather than shutdown -h). It will only use that when it reaches the final designated time to do so. If power returns, then it stops the countdown just flawlessly and returns to normal operations. It works on all of the FBSD machines and those running Windoze desktops. Some are Masters (those are FBSD) and some are slaves (FBSD & WINs). Some share the same APC and some do not. The ones that do not are attached to dumb UPS backups, but are still told what to do by the APC master machines.... i.e., shutdown or continue. So, I have not jumped into this because it is complicated enough without trying to discuss accross different daemons.... Best regards, Jack L.
