Re: Weak Battery Options

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhuis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The short term solution is to pull the cable from the UPS to the 270. Of 
course this way if there is a real power outage you run until those weak 
old batteries area actually dead and then 'thud'.

Better would be a program handing the power rather than IBMs build in 
code. This way you can do whatever you want.  Set a message queue other 
than QSYSOPR (something like QUPSMSGQ for example) .and then set a break 
handling program on queue. The program then does what YOU want it to do.

Best of course is new batteries. But you knew that. :-)
