When the power goes out and my computer goes onto the uninterruptable power supply i have, i might not be there, and boinc will be running. when tasks are running the power consumption of my pc doubles and i'm afraid that the ups will not have enough time to shut it down properly.

i have the "run on batteries' unchecked in the preferences, but when i tested it, it had no effect.

is there a way to get boinc to suspend or quit when the computer goes onto ups power?

i am using a Cyberpower ups if that matters?

thanks

Run on batteries is for laptops and notebooks. It should work when your operating system treats the UPS as an external battery.

But I think it is more a thing for your operating system. When it detects that your computer runs on a UPS, it should start killing applications as soon as possible. There's got to be some control program for the UPS through which you can prioritize which programs should be stopped first. Else see if Windows scheduler has a function like that.
