RE: More on UPS issues

What did the APC tech have to say about it?  If you are getting low battery
signal right after going to  UPS power, your batteries are probably shot.

QUPSDLYTIM is 120. 2 minutes, long enough to ride out a quick outage, but
short enough to give it a fighting chance of powering down before the UPS
runtime runs out. (Besides, the system message specifically said that both
the on-battery and low-battery signals were active).

QUPSMSGQ is QSYSOPR.

While inspecting the QSYSOPR message queue today, I also discovered that
the internal battery had to cope with a 12-second power failure, early
this morning, that the UPS apparently couldn't handle. We also found a
Linux box (on the same UPS) was cold, apparently from the same 12-second
power outage. No corresponding messages in the development box that's
monitoring our other UPS.
