and means that the default values do not generate annoy messages:
KES).
Note that if NOLOGON is set to disable the annoy messages will
also be disabled.
ANNOYDELAY <time in seconds>Specify delay time in seconds
before apcupsd begins requesting logged in users to get off the system
during a power failure. This timer starts only afterthe UPSis running
on batteries. This timer is reset when the p owerreturns. 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 <specifies when apcupsd should prevent user logins>
[ disable — timeout — percent — minutes — always ] are valid types.
The type specified allows you define the point when ap cupsd will create
the /etc/nologin file and thus when user logins are prohibited. Once
the /etc/nologin file is created, normal users are prevented from log-
ging in. Control of when this file is created is important for allowing
systems with big UPSes to run as normally until the system adminis-
trator determines the need for preventing user logins. The feature also
allows the system administrator to hold the “ANNOY” factor until the
/etc/nologin file is created. The default is always if no NOLOGON
directive is specified.
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 shut-
down occurs for the other types is very short (KES).
disable prevents apcupsd from creating the nologin file. Conse-
quently,any user can login during a power failure condition. Also,
the ANNOY feature is disabled so users will not be warned to lo-
goff 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 re-
maining battery charge percentage reaches 110% or less than the
value specified on the BATTERYLEVELconfiguration direc-
tive. Thus if the BATTERYLEVELis specified as 15, apcupsd
will prohibit logins when the battery charge drops below 16%
(15% X 110% = 16%).
