Setting this object will start the output after the indicated number of seconds, including starting the UPS, if necessary. Setting this object to 0 will cause the startup to occur immediately. Setting this

object to -1 will abort the countdown. If the output is already on at the time the countdown reaches 0, then nothing will happen. Sets to this object override the effect of any upsStartupAfterDelay countdown or upsRebootWithDuration countdown in progress. When read, upsStartupAfterDelay will return the number of seconds until startup, or -1 if no startup countdown is in effect. If the countdown expires during a utility failure, the startup shall not occur until the utility power is restored. On some systems, if the agent is restarted while a startup countdown is in effect, the countdown is aborted.
