upsdrvctl doesn't actually communicate with upsd - it simply starts and stops drivers directly (and except in the case of shutting down the UPS, the drivers then connect to upsd). If you're using a USB driver, make sure the OS isn't unmounting whatever USB filesystem might be necessary. Another idea is to plug the server into another UPS (or directly into the wall) and manually run the driver with "-k" and probably a few "-D" options to see what is going on. Some drivers (tripplite_usb, for one) do not fully implement the UPS shutdown commands, and other UPSes do not let you shut them down unless they are already on battery. -- - Charles Lepple _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
