UPS Utility Manual

3.6 RESETPFAIL Command
The RESETPFAIL command is for the purpose of clearing-out from the UPS Monitor's
status display the information
pertaining to past completions of the "Powerfail Grace Period Timer" and "Powerfail Command File".
When there has been a UPS AC power failure
signalled, and the user has configured the Powerfail Grace Period time, and
the power failure has lasted longer than the grace period time, then the STATUS display will show that the state of
the Grace
Period Timer is "Completed", and will also show the date and time of completion.
Similarly, if the user has configured a Powerfail Command File, and there has been a UPS power failure exceeding the
grace period time, then the powerfail command file will have been executed. The
STATUS display will then show the state
of the Powerfail Command File as "Completed", and will also show the completion date and time.
The "Completed" states and the completion dates and times for
both the Powerfail Grace Period timer and the Powerfail
Command File will be retained in UPS Monitor status until either:
(1) The UPS Monitor is re-started, or
(2) The RESETPFAIL command of UPSUTIL is used to clear this information.
The RESETPFAIL command will cause the state displays for Powerfail Grace Period timer and Powerfail Command File to
revert from "Completed" to "Not Running", and will erase the completion dates and
times for the Powerfail Grace Period
timer and Powerfail Command File.
The example below shows an observation of
UPS Monitor status following a UPS power failure that caused expiration of
the Grace Period Timer and an execution of the Powerfail Command File, followed by
a usage of the RESETPFAIL
command, and then another status display.
You can see from this example how the powerfail status information gets cleared
by the RESETPFAIL command.
