Hi all, I'm running OpenBSD 5.6/amd64 on my fileserver. It has an APC UPS that was previously managed with apcupsd. Since I upgraded to 5.6, the UPS now attaches as a upd device:
$ dmesg | grep uhidev3 uhidev3 at uhub3 port 5 configuration 1 interface 0 "APC Back-UPS ES 450 FW:844.K2 .D USB FW:K2" rev 1.10/1.06 addr 2 uhidev3: iclass 3/0, 123 report ids upd0 at uhidev3 And it reports sensible values in hw.sensors: $ sysctl hw.sensors.upd0 hw.sensors.upd0.indicator0=On (Charging), OK hw.sensors.upd0.indicator1=Off (Discharging), OK hw.sensors.upd0.indicator2=On (ACPresent), OK hw.sensors.upd0.indicator3=On (BatteryPresent), OK hw.sensors.upd0.indicator4=Off (ShutdownImminent), OK hw.sensors.upd0.percent0=79.00% (RemainingCapacity), OK hw.sensors.upd0.percent1=100.00% (FullChargeCapacity), OK So far, so good. Now, I'd like to configure sensorsd to monitor the device and invoke a script when the power goes out. I have this line in sensorsd.conf: hw.sensors.upd0.indicator2:command=/etc/sensorsd/ups.sh %s %2 The ups.sh script currently just echoes the token values that it's passed to a log file. The issue I'm running into is this: the status of the sensors seems to always be "OK", even when their state changes. I can unplug the UPS from the wall and then I see this: hw.sensors.upd0.indicator0=Off (Charging), OK hw.sensors.upd0.indicator1=On (Discharging), OK hw.sensors.upd0.indicator2=Off (ACPresent), OK hw.sensors.upd0.indicator3=On (BatteryPresent), OK hw.sensors.upd0.indicator4=Off (ShutdownImminent), OK hw.sensors.upd0.percent0=76.00% (RemainingCapacity), OK hw.sensors.upd0.percent1=100.00% (FullChargeCapacity), OK We're not charging, we're discharging, AC power is not present, but none of the status indicators (the %s token) ever leaves the "OK" state. As I understand it, that lack of state change results in sensorsd doing nothing, even though the sensor's value (the %2 token, On/Off) changes. Can anyone clue me in? I feel like I must be missing something silly and obvious here. Thanks, -- Joe Gidi j...@entropicblur.com "You cannot buy skill." -- Ross Seyfried
