-Finally, the "Kill Power on the UPS after a Powerfail Shutdown" only applies if a "UPS Driver" is defined.  When enabled this option will instruct the UPS to cut power if both on battery and a shutdown is in progress.  Power will be cut approximately 60 seconds after a shutdown.  The idea is when line power is restored the battery will not be totally depleted.

+The ''[master]'' user's password is auto-generated as a random string, which may be accessed by the ''upsd.users'' and ''upsmon.conf'' configuration files using the token: ''@MASTER_PASS@'' .  For example a snippet of a custom ''upsd.users'' could contain:
+  [master]
+  password = @MASTER_PASS@
+  upsmon master
+or a snippet of a custom ''upsmon.conf'' could contain:
+  MONITOR ups@localhost 1 master @MASTER_PASS@ master
+Of course a custom ''upsd.users'' and ''upsmon.conf'' could share a custom ''[master]'' user's password if desired.
