NAME

       ups_conf - HP PowerTrust Uninterruptible Power System (UPS) monitor configuration file

DESCRIPTION

       The  default configuration file for the HP PowerTrust UPS monitor daemon Another file can be used as long as it complies with the specified
       format, and the monitor daemon is configured to use the alternate file (see the description of the option in ups_mond(1M)).

       Lines in the configuration file can contain a maximum of 256 characters, and the full pathname of a UPS-tty device file can contain a maxi-
       mum of 100 characters.

       Only  one  entry per line is allowed in the configuration file.	Each line begins with a keyword.  All fields in configuration file entries
       are delimited by colons (:).  Entries in the configuration file end with the first space encountered (as specified by the library function,
       see isspace(3C)).  Characters beyond the first space on each line are treated as comments.

       The shutdown delay and timeout values should be the first lines in the file.

       Entries	in  this  file	begin with keywords that must appear exactly as shown below.  The terminating colon separates the keyword from the
       value of its parameter.	recognizes the following keywords:

       The number of minutes
		      following notification by the first that its corresponding UPS is operating on internal (battery)  power,  before  initiates
		      The default is one minute.  This value should be set to account for transient power interruptions, if they are common to the
		      site.

       The number of minutes to monitor the
		      operation before initiating with the halt option see reboot(2)).	The default is five minutes.  This value should be  longer
		      than  the longest time the system requires to execute shutdown(1M).  Note that after the value of has elapsed, a UPS lacking
		      AC line voltage will power off.  When AC line voltage is restored, the UPS will restore power to its output.   This  timeout
		      value  should  not be so much longer than that an observer may become impatient.	It is important to note that this value is
		      the period for which the UPS will delay its power-cycling, even if AC power is restored sooner.

       This line is followed by either
		      or which indicates if the UPS needs to be turned OFF or ON upon AC line voltage failures respectively.  Default is

       The full pathname of the
		      device special file through which the UPS is configured.	Include one entry for each UPS.  entries are handled in the  order
		      they  appear in Therefore, it is important to list your uninterruptible power systems in order of priority (for example, UPS
		      protecting the SPU listed first).

		      entries can contain following optional parameters, which can appear in any order following the device special file name:

       This	      will not cause or to be initiated.

       The type of uninterruptible power supply.  Currently, this is the only
		      type defined and supports the entire HP UPS family, including PowerTrust.  It defaults to SOLA .
