Hopefully the power gets back soon …

Either I change to use an external site to determine my IP, or I do something in WAN failover script to change what ddclient does.  Any thoughts as to best approach?  I want something automatic that will work whether using primary or failover.

Some of that stuff can be automated with the optional Action script:

I think it was at 20% left, but at that level I still have 90-120 minutes of runtime left.  Is there a setting to change when Astlinux does the shutdown?

I guess in "/etc/ups/upsmon.conf" (but no idea which is the right parameter). You can create your own file in "/mnt/kd/".
