is reset when the power returns. The default is 60 seconds. Thus, the first warning to log off the

system occurs after 60 seconds on batteries, assuming that NOLOGON is not set to disable.

NOLOGON disable | timeout | percent | minutes | always

Specifies when apcupsd should prevent user logins

The type specified allows you define the point when apcupsd will create the 'nologin' file and thus

when user logins are prohibited. Once the 'nologin' file is created, normal users are prevented from

logging in. Control of when this file is created is important for allowing systems with big UPSes to run

as normally until the system administrator determines the need for preventing user logins. The feature

also allows the system administrator to hold the "ANNOY" factor until the 'nologin' file is created. The

default is always disable if no NOLOGON directive is specified.

The 'nologin' file will be created in the directory specified by the NOLOGINDIR directive described

below.

As far as I can tell, the only useful types are disable and always since the difference in the time when

the logout warning is given and shutdown occurs for the other types is very short (KES).

disable prevents apcupsd from creating the nologin file. Consequently, any user can login during

a power failure condition. Also, the ANNOY feature is disabled so users will not be warned to

logoff the system.

timeout specifies that apcupsd should prohibit logins after the UPS is on batteries for 90% of the

time specified on the TIMEOUT configuration directive. Note! Normally you don't want to specify

a TIMEOUT value, so this option is probably not too useful (KES).

percent specifies that apcupsd should prohibit logins when the remaining battery charge

percentage reaches 110% or less than the value specified on the BATTERYLEVEL configuration

directive. Thus if the BATTERYLEVEL is specified as 15, apcupsd will prohibit logins when the

battery charge drops below 16% (15% X 110% = 16%).

minutes specifies that apcupsd should prohibit logins when the remaining runtime in minutes

reaches 110% or less than the value specified on the MINUTES configuration directive. Thus if

MINUTES is set to 3, apcupsd will prohibit logins when the remaining runtime is less than 3

minutes (3 X 110% = 3).

always causes apcupsd to immediately prohibit logins when a power failure occurs. This will also

enable the ANNOY feature.

NOLOGINDIR path to nologin dir

This directive configures the directory into which apcupsd will write the nologin file, as described

above for the NOLOGON directive.

Normally, the configure program will set an appropriate default value for your platform, often /etc.

You may also specify the --with-nologdir= option of the configure program to change the

default at compile time.

KILLDELAY time in seconds

If KILLDELAY is set, apcupsd will continue running after a shutdown has been requested, and after

the specified time in seconds, apcupsd will attempt to shut off the UPS the power. This directive

should normally be disabled by setting the value to zero, but on some systems such as Win32

systems apcupsd cannot regain control after a shutdown to force the UPS to shut off the power. In

this case, with proper consideration for the timing, the KILLDELAY directive can be useful. Please be

aware, if you cause apcupsd to kill the power to your computer too early, the system and the disks

may not have been properly prepared. In addition, apcupsd must continue running after the shutdown

is requested, and on Unix systems, this is not normally the case as the system will terminate all

processes during the shutdown.

SCRIPTDIR path to apccontrol dir

This option configures the directory in which apccontrol and other event scripts are located.

Normally, the configure program will set an appropriate default value for your platform, often

/etc/apcupsd.

PWRFAILDIR path to powerfail dir
