Hi Mike,
When I halt the ups-monitor is performed much later after the
filesystems have all closed. Where did you place the ups-monitor
poweroff within the shudown scripts? I'm not too familiar with Linux,
so I don't know if I've missed the shutdown -h case, but I placed the
ups-monitor poweroff in the halt script.
I'm looking to modify the bat3 program to add an additional command
to remove the need to kill the bat3 program prior to running ups-
monitor, but this - as you state - would need to delay before
powering off in a full boot condition.
I've been working with Michael at Technologic Systems whose been very
helpfull getting me through the errors located between my chair and
the keyboard...
Regards,
PJE
