Mr Claesson, with my current configuration, the ups.status when the UPS is disconnected from the mains is "OB". There is no more "OB BOOST". Now my upsd.users is: [root] password = password allowfrom = localhost upsmon master actions = SET instcmds = ALL
and upsmon.conf is: RUN_AS_USER root MONITOR [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1 root password master MINSUPPLIES 1 SHUTDOWNCMD "/sbin/shutdown -h now" NOTIFYCMD /usr/local/ups/bin/notifyme POLLFREQ 5 POLLFREQALERT 5 HOSTSYNC 0 DEADTIME 15 POWERDOWNFLAG /etc/killpower NOTIFYFLAG ONBATT SYSLOG+WALL+EXEC RBWARNTIME 43200 NOCOMMWARNTIME 300 FINALDELAY I had to run as user root, because otherwise the command "telinit 0" from the notifyme script does not have the permission to execute. Currently the output of "upsc [EMAIL PROTECTED]" when the UPS is connected to the mains is: battery.charge: 97.7 driver.name: powercom driver.parameter.linevoltage: 220 driver.parameter.port: /dev/ttyS0 driver.parameter.type: KIN1500AP driver.version: 2.0.4 driver.version.internal: $ Revision: 0.5 $ input.frequency: 49.61 input.voltage: 236.3 input.voltage.nominal: 220 output.frequency: 49.61 output.voltage: 236.3 ups.load: 36.7 ups.mfr: PowerCom ups.model: Unknown ups.model.type: KIN1500AP ups.serial: Unknown ups.status: OL and when the UPS is NOT connected to the mains is: battery.charge: 151.0 driver.name: powercom driver.parameter.linevoltage: 220 driver.parameter.port: /dev/ttyS0 driver.parameter.type: KIN1500AP driver.version: 2.0.4 driver.version.internal: $ Revision: 0.5 $ input.frequency: 0.00 input.voltage: -0.1 input.voltage.nominal: 220 output.frequency: 49.61 output.voltage: 38.3 ups.load: 140.7 ups.mfr: PowerCom ups.model: Unknown ups.model.type: KIN1500AP ups.serial: Unknown ups.status: O Mr Jonathan Dion from the mailing list told me that the battery charge of 151 at "OB" is not alright and says that probably I am not using the correct driver for my UPS. Could you tell me what output certain commands should have if everything is correct? I need some criterion so that I can know that I have finally found the correct driver for my UPS. The powercom driver is probably the correct driver, I think I just need to experiment with the upstypes. So it would be nice to tell me some quick commands for starting the driver with different upstypes from the command line. I will do all tests necessary to find out the correct driver and upstype configuration for my UPS, apart from letting the UPS go to the real status "LB". I do not dare do that. And concerning the UPS shutdown, if it is at all necessary to me, and if I ever decide to configure my system for UPS shutdown: I want the UPS itself to shut down right after the system has sucessfully gone through the standard shutdown procedure. I do not want the UPS shutdown to forestall the system shutdown. This was the case with the original upsmon programme, coming with my UPS. Concisely, I am asking two things: 1.Criteria for the correct driver and upstype configuration; some example algorithm to perform the tests; some quck commands for starting the driver from the command line with different upstypes; 2.How to achieve UPS shutdown right after normal system shutdown Thank you very much indeed for your attention. I am looking forward to your answer. Regards, Martin ----------------------------------------------------------------- http://ide.li/ - портал за българите по света.
