[6.7.0-RC7] apcupds/UPS daemon mystery startup

I primarily use the NUT plugin for UPS control, and leave the baked in UPS monitor alone, however have had two instances now where I wake up to emails/errors about UPS lost communication.  System was last started up/reset on 4/6/19 and first saw the issue on 4/14:

The usbfs error continues on w/ the communications lost notification until I addressed the issue.

Found my dashboard had the UPS plugin running, went into settings and found it started w/ gui setting set to off. a quick toggle of the settings and all was well again & dashboard panel went away.

Now again last night (4/21/19)

Exactly 7 days to the second, we get another myster startup.

I dont have any user scripts running that would call apcupsd, but i do see my "fixed schedules" set to run daily scripts at 440a.  But apcupsd doesnt start up daily, only weekly which is set to run at 430a on Sundays.
