Here is the previous email that I sent directly to Charles Lepple. I am now
sending to the correct email with cc to Charles.
----------------
I am looking at, and trying to understand the rest of the conf files. But
first want to askabout something from this
message:[CODE]root@debian:/home/john# upsdrvctl startNetwork UPS Tools - UPS
driver controller 2.7.2Network UPS Tools - Megatec/Q1 protocol USB driver 0.11
(2.7.2)Supported UPS detected with megatec protocolVendor information
unavailableNo values provided for battery high/low voltages in ups.conf
Using 'guestimation' (low: 10.400000, high: 13.000000)!Battery runtime will not
be calculated (runtimecal not set)[CODE]
I recall, from past experience with this UPS, that the nominal voltage is
around 13.1 . I have no idea what the low voltage should be, but 10.4 is
probably okay. So, would I add the following in the ups.conf
[CODE]default.battery.voltage.high = 13.5default.battery.voltage.low =
10.4default.battery.voltage.nominal = 13.1[CODE]
Now, on to the 'upsmon.conf' file. I am a bit lost as to what all is
required in this file. Lookingat just the first part of the example from
Price, I see :
[CODE]# /etc/ups/upsmon.conf MONITOR Eaton-66781@localhost 1 upsmaster sekret
master MINSUPPLIES 1 SHUTDOWNCMD "/sbin/shutdown -h +0" NOTIFYCMD
/usr/sbin/upssched POLLFREQ 5 POLLFREQALERT 5 HOSTSYNC 15 DEADTIME 15
POWERDOWNFLAG /etc/killpower[CODE]
I have modified the MONITOR line as appropriate for my system but wonder about
a coupleof entries. The referenced binary '/usr/sbin/upssched' appears to be
in '/sbin' not '/usr/sbin' .Is that the '/sbin/upssched' the correct file to
use ? Also, the '/etc/killpower' does not appearanywhere in my system. I did
a 'locate killpower' and came up empty . I now see that thekillpower is
generated automatically (I think).
Also, do I need all of the NOTIFYMSG and NOTIFYFLAG things? I guess I am
looking to dothe minimum just to get things running. I assume I can modify
things later as I learn enoughto do so correctly. Looks like the NOTIFYMSG
will send a message to a terminal. Is that correct?
Suggestions please. Thanks.
