Thank you for your response.
The point is that I have configured my system to shut down at the event "upsc
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.status"!="OL", not at "LB". So there will be no
/etc/killpower file created. At an ups.status != "OL" event, the following
script named "notifyme" is run:
echo `date` >> /root/upsLog
echo " No power, shutting down the system!" >> /root/upsLog
sleep 30
control=`/usr/local/ups/bin/upsc [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.status`
if [ $control != OL ]
then
/sbin/telinit 0
fi
I tried adding the line: "touch /etc/powerdown" to the "notifyme" script and
the lines:
if (test -f /etc/powerdown)
then
echo "Killing the power, bye!"
/usr/local/ups/bin/upsdrvctl shutdown
sleep 120
fi
to the /etc/rc.d/rc.6 script, but when I simulated a power failure, the system
shut down, but the UPS did not. I think I did not add the lines at the correct
place in the rc.6 script, or probably there is poor communication between the
UPS and the software, for I am not sure the software I am using is for my UPS.
I just found out that the powercom driver gives "OL" when the UPS is connected
to the mains, and "OB BOOST" when it is disconnected.
Besides, I am not quite sure whether I need to make the UPS itself go down in
case of power failure, because if it does not go down, it has the chance to get
charged when power returns. Now after in case of power failure the PC shuts
down and the UPS goes on buzzing, but it can go on buzzing like that for quite
a lot time before the battery gets damaged, because the PC is off and the power
consumption from the UPS battery is minimal, am I not right?
So what would you recommend to me? MAke the UPS itself power off after system
shutdown in case of power failure, or leave it buzzing till power returns?
In case you advise me to make the UPS go down itself after the system shutdown,
I will be thankful to you if you tell me if the method I suggest to achieve
that is working and where in the shutdown script I need to add it?
Thank you for your responsiveness.
Regards, Martin
