(and no “powerfail grace period time” configured), so there will be no special action taken following a UPS
device power fail signal. Finally, the default UPS Monitor action for “UPS low battery charge condition” will
be system abort.
Observing Results of NEWCONFIG Command
After you have used the NEWCONFIG command to activate a new UPS Monitor configuration file through
UPSUTIL, then use the STATUS command of UPSUTIL to see the results of the new configuration file
activation. (Refer to the STATUS command elsewhere in this document.)
UPSUTIL’s NEWCONFIG command causes your chosen configuration file to be “sent to” the UPS Monitor
software; but UPSUTIL itself does not do error checking on the configuration file. (The UPS Monitor module
does perform error checking on the file. Any problems with the configuration file will be reported to the
system operator via console messages issued by the UPS Monitor. These error messages will also be recorded
in the system diagnostic log file.)
The UPSUTIL STATUS command obtains a status report from the UPS Monitor module, which will show
you whether the UPS Monitor detected any errors in your new configuration file, and what the current
settings of the configurable options are after your NEWCONFIG command has executed.
Example #1 — Using UPSCNFIG.PUB.SYS
The first example shows a NEWCONFIG command being used to set the configuration using the default
UPSCNFIG.PUB.SYS configuration file. A STATUS command following the NEWCONFIG command reports
the results of using UPSCNFIG.PUB.SYS.
