The line of interest for you is the Shutdown grace delay, which can be
changed using the SLEEP (see SLEEP <set sleep delay>) directive in your
apcupsd.conf file. The default value is 20 seconds, but generally, you can
set it to 180, 300, or 600 seconds depending on your UPS. See the EEPROM
(see Configuring Your EEPROM) this manual for further details on how to
change this EPROM value.
If you use the --kill-on-powerfail option, you run the risk of having the
computer power cut before the system has shutdown. Even if the grace
period is rather long, if something goes wrong in the shutdown, well, it is
up to you to decide.
If apcupsd has successfully shutdown your computer and powered off the
UPS during a power outage, you can control whether or not your computer
is automatically rebooted when the power returns.
The UPS contains two internal EPROM values that determine when it will
restore power to your computer after a full power shutdown. They are the
RETURNCHARGE (see RETURNCHARGE <min
batt charge level>)
percentage and the WAKEUP (see WAKEUP <set wakeup delay>) delay.
Briefly, the RETURNCHARGE specifies what percentage charge the bat-
tery must have before the power is restored. Higher values are recommended
in regions where the power goes up and down frequently. The WAKEUP
delay is a simple time delay. Most sites will have both of these at zero, or
perhaps the RETURNCHARGE set to 15. Please follow the links to the
