Yes, apcupsd gets killed and the system is powered down (-p) or halted (-h). But if the AC power is restored _before_ the UPS is exhausted, there is no power cycle, and the computer won't boot without operator assistance. This is the situation I am trying to avoid. -- Cheers, Petri Metis / Petri Riihikallio GSM: +358 400 505 939 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
