I think the point is that most UPS software
provides an easy-to-use interface for configuring
the various settings, like: shutdown at %, shutdown at time,
logging, alerts, etc.

The original poster was, I think, quite reasonably asking
for the same level of support as they could get on practically
any other platform ...

Isn't this what the Cobalt sales pitch is all about?
