I dunno, but it appears to, sometimes. And we have such *wonderful* power
in this building, there's at least one major blip, for a second or two,
every night....

It looks like you're right... EXCEPT that you missed the part about
changing apccontrol.sh.in, which appears to me to be something you get if
you build apcusd, rather than just install it via yum. And there's no
other obvious way to deal with not wanting to shut it down if you have
multiple machines, and don't want to ever have it tell everybody to shut
down.
Suggestions on what I can do *other* than build the package myself? I
dunno, the times I see it shut down have *not* shut down for 3 or 5 min,
nor do I think that was the max left runtime.
