I add #!/bin/bash at the beginning of my script my script is in /home/nut the user nut is owner I run my script with sh /home/nut/alert_ups
I try running upsmon in debug mode with "upsmon -DDD". I have a denied permission when the file ups.log is created I create it and I add nut owner and all is OK I'm going to continue my setteings Thanks PS : sorry for my bad english Le 29/11/2010 16:51, Arnaud Quette a écrit : Hi again Sabine, first, please keep the list cc'ed 2010/11/29 sabine GOUDARD <[[email protected]> 2007 effectively .... indeed, time passes too quickly! my script: very simple if I run it manually I have no problem # write to a specific log file date=$(date +"%F %T") echo "$date >> UPS ALERT, shutting down in a few seconds..." >> /var/log/ups.log is the above your complete script? if so, you should really add a header like: !#/bin/sh don't forget that this will be run from a program, which may be different that running from a shell. next, how do you manually call your script? ie "sh myscript.sh" or simply "./myscript.sh". in other word, are the executable bits set? your problem here may be that the NUT user (the one running upsmon) doesn't have the right privileges to access to your home, where your script is located. in this case, you should put it in a more neutral location, like /usr/local/bin. to get the exact issue, try running upsmon in debug mode (after having stopped it), using "upsmon -DDD". and generate a power failure. have a look at the same time at upsmon output to see what's going on... my guess is that it will be solved by either of the above fix (location, exec bits, header line for interpreter declaration) I have restart upsmon after each modification in upsmon.conf I also have question about POWERDOWNFLAG /etc/killpower When UPS is on LB, it stops and when it restarts I don't have any file killpower ? this one gets cleared (removed) when upsmon restarts. cheers, Arnaud -- Linux / Unix Expert R+D - Eaton - http://powerquality.eaton.com Network UPS Tools (NUT) Project Leader - http://www.networkupstools.org/ Debian Developer - http://www.debian.org Free Software Developer - http://arnaud.quette.free.fr/ -> mailto:[email protected]] -- Sabine GOUDARD - Informatique et Multimédia Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Saint-Étienne 1, rue Buisson BP 94 42003 Saint-Étienne Cedex 1 Tél. : 04 77 42 37 20 - Fax : 04 77 42 35 40 [email protected]
