[Apcupsd-users] Confused with output of apcaccess status

[HaroldW <har...@ro...>]

I just setup apcupsd on  a Smart-UPS 1400 connected to a Linux server. I have
not modified any numerical values since apcupsd was installed. The values I
am concerned about (from apcaccess status) are listed below:


TIMELEFT :   7.0 Minutes
MBATTCHG : 5 Percent
MINTIMEL : 3 Minutes
DSHUTD   : 180 Seconds
DLOWBATT : 02 Minutes


My interpretation of what this means is:

At the current load after 7 minutes on battery, the charge will be down to 5
percent.
At 3 minutes (from  MINTIMEL) apcupsd will start shutdown procedures, but
since "DSHUTD" is set to 180 sec (3 min) there will be a 3 minute delay. )
So, the system is set to shutdown 3 minutes after the battery is down to 3
minutes charge? Which is probably after the UPS has shutdown.  Can someone
tell me if I understand this correctly, and/or if I need to change some
settings and to what?

Thanks in advance.

Harold
