It's been my experience that once the power is out changing QUPSDLYTIM is
futile. It is only checked it at power failure time and starts the
countdown. The only way to interrupt the countdown is to restore power.
From the help:
A change to this system value takes effect the next time there is a
power failure. The shipped value is 200 seconds.
The keyword being "NEXT".

If your UPS are the good network managed kind you can get a program that
talks to them and therefore gets the real remaining battery time from
them.
based on that you can then shutdown whatever you want.
You may combine the serial alert with the network one or use them for
everything. Of course, when down to restricted state you can't have
anything so i don't know if there is a way to override the QUPSDLYTIM...
or
maybe have a program that when going down to restricted sets the time and
when starting subsystems it sets it back to *nolimit?
I also have 90+ UPS (only 1 but still...) and i end up shutting down
everything manually...

Our UPS lasts a really long time, like 90 minutes or more.
I thought of using *NOMAX for QUPSDLYTIM but I have an issue with that.
One, if you brought your system down to restricted state and then the
power failure hits it kills the system right then and there if the
queue specified in QUPSMSGQ is not locked by a job.anyway.
Two, if the shutdown program 'hangs' then your system does no orderly
shutdown.
But if I make that value too small then my program may not be done
But with 90+ minutes I can make it pretty substantial.list
Any thoughts on this?
