You need to configure your shutdown procedure, either via inittab or a
shutdown script, to tell the UPS to kill the power. If you're willing,
I'd suggest installing NUT, from http://www.networkupstools.org . It
has excellent documentation for configuring and testing your UPS setup.
You may need an older version for RH9, but it should still work fine.
