Annoying UPS dialog?
I have an APC Back-UPS XS 1500VA connected to my Mac Pro (running Tiger of course). The Mac Pro correctly spots the UPS without problems.
My power here has issues, and I experience a notch dropout a couple of times a day. The UPS (well, all three of them
) kicks on and smooths out the notch. The trouble is, immediately when this happens, I get a dialog from Mac OS X:
Warning. Your computer is now running on UPS backup battery. Save your documents and shutdown soon.
Since the power dropout is less than a second, the UPS is never remotely taxed, but it does kick on and run for about five seconds. Eventually, Mac OS X figures this out and closes the dialog automatically.
As you might imagine, this dialog is annoying-as-crap!
How do I disable it, tweak it so that it doesn't come on until the computer has been running on UPS for a minute, or prevent it from being modal?
Imagine if, every time you unplugged your MacBook from the wall, you got a "Warning! You are now running on laptop batteries!" dialog.

Is there a config file somewhere that can disable this dialog warning?
