Thank you sooo much for your prompt response.

I'll surely give it a try and let you know how it went although I might not be able to fully test it for a couple of weeks since I have this set up in a remote location and I need to be able to unplug the ups to test it.

Thanks again Smilie

Thank you very much @RudiC it works perfectrly well!

I forgot to mention that the main script was a python script and I could not integrate your code directly. Instead, I have placed it on a separate .sh which handles the logic for either calling or not calling based on the status of the UPS after 10 seconds and I call that one from the main script.

Thanks againSmilie

NAME
upscmd - UPS administration program for instant commands SYNOPSIS
upscmd -h upscmd -l ups upscmd [-u username] [-p password] ups command DESCRIPTION
upscmd allows you to invoke "instant commands" in your UPS hardware. Not all hardware supports this, so check the list with -l to see if anything will work on your equipment. On hardware that supports it, you can use this program to start and stop battery tests, invoke a front panel test (beep!), turn the load on or off, and more. OPTIONS
-h Display the help message. -l ups Show the list of supported instant commands on that UPS. Some hardware may not support any of them. -u username Set the username for the connection to the server. This is optional, and you will be prompted for this when invoking a command if -u is not used. -p password Set the password to authenticate to the server. This is also optional like -u, and you will be prompted for it if necessary. ups Connect to that UPS. The format for this option is [upsname@]hostname[:port]. UNATTENDED MODE
If you run this program inside a shell script or similar to invoke a command, you will need to specify all of the information on the com- mand line. This means using -u and -p. Otherwise it will put up a prompt and your program will hang. This is not necessary when displaying the list, as the username and password are not required for read-only mode. DANGEROUS COMMANDS
Some drivers like apcsmart(8) have built-in paranoia for the dangerous commands like OFF. To make them actually turn off the load, you will have to send the command twice within a short window. That is, you will have to send it once, then send it again after 3 seconds elapse but before 15 seconds pass. This paranoia is entirely defined within the driver. upsd and upscmd have no control over the timing. DIAGNOSTICS
upscmd won't work unless you provide a valid username and password. If you get "access denied" errors, make sure that your upsd.users(5) has an entry for you, and that the username you are using has permissions to SET variables. BUGS
There is currently no way to tell the user when the driver requires confirmation to invoke a command such as OFF. Similarly, there is not yet a way to tell the user if a command succeeds or fails. SEE ALSO
