Many thanks to all who helped out on this one, the problem turned out to be a misunderstanding on my part:
The Ubuntu 7.04 /etc/init.d/halt script only initiates the /etc/init.d/ups-monitor poweroff command if the shutdown -P (poweroff) option is used (or -h with /etc/halt/default set to poweroff) -- I was using the shutdown -H (halt) option so /etc/init.d/ups-monitor poweroff never got executed. A couple of observations regarding the bcmxcp_usb driver and 3105 UPS: The bcmxcp_usb driver turns the UPS off immediately (at the same time the PC is powered off by shutdown) irrespective of the setting of the driver 'shutdown_delay' parameter. I'm just guessing that the driver forces the UPS off when it's terminated by the dying kernel. The only way I could get the driver to observe the 'shutdown_delay' parameter and not to turn the UPS off immediately was to execute the 'shutdown.return' instant command manually (the 'shutdown.stayoff' command turned off the UPS immediately): # upscmd -u admin -p mypass [EMAIL PROTECTED] shutdown.return This left the following message in `/var/log/daemon.log`: Aug 2 13:33:30 kea bcmxcp_usb[4880]: Going down in 120 sec Cheers, Stuart Arnaud Quette wrote: > 2007/7/26, Stuart Rackham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: >> Hi >> >> I'm having a problem with the bcmxcp_usb driver FSD command: everything >> seems to work apart from: >> >> upsmon -c fsd >> >> Environment: Ubuntu 7.04, nut 2.0.5-1, nut-usb 2.0.5-1, Powerware 3105 >> UPS. >> >> upsd appears to send the FSD command to the UPS, upsmon then runs my >> NOTIFYCMD (which halts my PC) but the UPS just doesn't turn off. >> Here are the /var/log/daemon.log entries: >> >> Jul 24 23:13:16 kea upsmon[5226]: Signal 10: User requested FSD >> Jul 24 23:13:16 kea upsd[5223]: Client [EMAIL PROTECTED] set FSD on UPS >> [pw3105] >> Jul 24 23:13:16 kea upsmon[5226]: Executing automatic power-fail shutdown >> Jul 24 23:13:16 kea upsmon[5226]: Auto logout and shutdown proceeding >> Jul 24 23:13:21 kea upsd[5223]: Host 127.0.0.1 disconnected (read >> failure) >> : >> Jul 24 23:13:28 kea upsd[5223]: Signal 15: exiting >> >> I might have suspected the UPS or USB interface/cable if not for the >> fact that the shutdown.stayoff instant command works -- turns ups off >> immediately and that notifications are returned from the UPS. >> >> The bcmxcp_usb driver reports the following status: >> >> # upsc [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> driver.name: bcmxcp_usb >> driver.parameter.port: auto >> driver.parameter.shutdown_delay: 120 >> driver.version: 2.0.5 >> driver.version.internal: 0.11 >> input.phases: 1 >> ups.firmware: 00.80 >> ups.model: POWERWARE UPS 500VA >> ups.power.nominal: 500 >> ups.serial: >> ups.status: OL >> ups.voltage.nominal: 240 >> >> One peculiarity -- even though the test.battery.start instant command >> is listed it puts this in the log: >> >> Jul 24 23:08:11 kea bcmxcp_usb[5221]: [test.battery.start] not supported >> >> Any help would be appreciated. > > Debian, and derivatives such as Ubuntu, declares a generic handler in > the halt script: > # See if we need to cut the power. > if [ "$INIT_HALT" = "POWEROFF" ] && [ -x /etc/init.d/ups-monitor ] > then > /etc/init.d/ups-monitor poweroff > fi > > This works for nut and apcupsd... > now, I've asked a long time ago to have libusb in /lib (instead of > /usr/lib) just to be sure that the lib is still reachable at shutdown > time (otherwise, the driver wouldn't ever fire up!) > > the strange point is that we have validated it again this week (a new > MGE PSP release is underway) on Ubuntu (dapper and feisty), using nut > 2.2.0 and it (the UPS shutoff / poweroff) worked!
