Restart after Power Failure using Belkin UPS?
I found an archived discussion ( http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=551180&tstart=0) that talks about Mac OS X sending a signal to UPSs to turn off its outlets after a short delay simulating a total power failure. This total power failure is what allows the "Restart after power failure" feature to work and is why the computer hangs instead of shutting down entirely when the UPS shut down script runs.
My problem with the Belkin is that the Belkin apparently never turns the power to the AC plugs off. Instead it remains on until the Mac decides power must be back and restarts. Does anyone know if the instruction sent to the UPS from Mac OS X is only compatible with APC UPSs? Or is there someway to get my Belkin UPS to behave?
