Now my computer is running on battery. After 3 minutes, my computer gracefully shutdown, not hibernate or try to hibernate because hibernation is disable. Disabling hibernation does not mean the APC PowerChute software become useless. Sure hibernation would come in handy if I was running something and my computer shutdown in that state but I don't care that as long as my OS is shutdown gracefully.
How about you run a test where you do NOT disable hibernate? you will see that it will hibernate instead of shutting down when possible.
It is certainly impressive that it will fallback to shutting down if hibernate is disabled; but the default "shut down" operation is hibernate
