[Bug 916956] Re: upstart does not start cupsd and nut/upsd
In my case which is a UPS connected via a serial port. it appears to be a timing problem - looks like upsmon is not ready when upsdrvctl is executed in the standard init.d/nut script but am not entirely sure of that since I have not looked at the upsdrvctl code. Anyway. as a workaround, modified the nut script function start_stop_server start case paragraph to start upsd first and upsdrvctl second with a 30 second pause between as follows :- start) start-stop-daemon -S -q -p $upsd_pid -x $upsd \ -- $UPSD_OPTIONS /dev/null 21 sleep 30 ! $upsdrvctl start /dev/null 21\ log_progress_msg (driver(s) failed) || log_progress_msg driver(s) ;; Then it works reliably. 15 Seconds is not enough, 30 seconds is sufficient but may be too much - probably not the most elegant solution but I'm happy with it. If the developer would like me to try other solutions, I'm happy to assist. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/916956 Title: upstart does not start cupsd and nut/upsd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/916956/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 916956] Re: upstart does not start cupsd and nut/upsd
No problem with cups butI have the same problem for nut in Ubuntu Precise (1204) - nut starts no error from a console command (/etc/init.d/nut start) but does not start automatically. Much searching has not returned any further help. I tried putting a nut.conf in /etc/init like :- start on runlevel [2345] # respawn # expect fork exec /etc/init.d/nut start and that works if I issue a start nut but still no auto start. Tried with and without the respawn and expect fork - no difference but I expect there would not be anyway. I don't see any errors in the syslog. Nothing in nut.log either. The standard package works perfectly in Ubuntu Oneiric (1110). I absolutely cannot move to 1204 with this outstanding - our main supply here is unreliable at times and a UPS is essential.
