The distributed killpower script does the first two mounts without a
remount, and the others with a remount. This looks as if it might be
an oversight.
no, this is done on purpose.
This shell script if placed in /etc/apcupsd
will be called by /etc/apcupsd/apccontrol before
apcupsd kills the power in the UPS.
apcupsd kills the power in the ups after that the kernel
is umounting filesystems . please see
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=301916&archive=yes
If that's not an issue, it would probably be appropriate to downgrade
this to "minor" severity.
All my other issues concern the documentation of killpower.
The file doesn't really indicate what environment the script will be
run in, making it hard to assess issues such as that raised above.
Have all the partitions been unmounted when it runs?
you have to know what apcupsd is doing when it calls killpower
maybe the documentation is not very clear, but it is true that
you should take a look to see how and when killpower file is called,
by who, and which conditions happens when it's called.
This could be explained on the killpower file, however it's
self explaining if u look at apccontrol file, which you should
look if u want to configure correctly apcupsd.
The Debian NEWS is confusing. It says
Also there's a new file in /etc/apcupsd which is called
killpower,
yeah and that's the file we are talking.. or not ?
if you have /usr/ and /var on different
partitions you should check this file and uncomment
the line you need most.
Looking at killpower, I thought this meant I should pick one of
#mount -n -o ro /usr
#mount -n -o ro /var
This is not consistent with the comment in killpower, and, on
reflection, probably not the intent.
The NEWS file also has a comma splice after "killpower".
I suggest this revision:
I have moved powerfail file from /var/spool to /etc.
Also, there's a new file in /etc/apcupsd which is called
killpower. If you have /usr/ and /var on different
partitions you should check this file and uncomment
the line or lines you need.
yep, it's better a dot instead of a comma, however i don't think
it's a good idea to upgrade apcupsd for a missing comma inside NEWS
file.
Oops, missed one other problem in the writeup. There's an "and" that
should be an "or," I believe. So....
I have moved powerfail file from /var/spool to /etc.
Also, there's a new file in /etc/apcupsd which is called
killpower. If you have /usr/ or /var is not on the root
partition you should check killpower and uncomment
the line or lines you need.
uhm.. i'm not a native english speaker however that "and" means
that if u have both partition, or just one of them, u need to uncomment
the file.
In my language this can be done by using "and" , don't know for english.
