Dear List, I'm trying to perform an automatic server shutdown and restart
with NUT 2.6.3, openSUSE 12.2 and an Eaton Eco 1600. The server shutdown
works but there is no automatic restart when wall power returns. Unlike
successful tests with earlier versions of openSUSE, the UPS unit is never
switched off. It goes on beeping for as long as I let it.
When I pulled the plug from the wall socket, after two warnings based on
timers, the server shut down. However the UPS unit did not switch off. I
did not hear the familiar "clunk" after a short wait. Here is the trace of
the dying minutes in /var/log/messages. There is no message indicating an
instruction to the UPS unit to switch off.

The UPS unit goes on beeping. When I reconnect to the wall socket, the
beeping stops, but no server restart. Yes, the BIOS is set up for
automatic restart on power return.
I re-ran the test with the upsd -DD debug option. After editing out a lot
of repetition, the /var/log/messages trace is 154 lines, visible at
http://rogerprice.org/upsd-DD.trace . I see no sign of a command to the
UPS to switch off.
I started a trace of the driver usbhid-ups with the commands
killall usbhid-ups
/usr/lib/ups/driver/usbhid-ups -D -a Eaton-66781 >> /tmp/usbhid-ups.trace 2>&1
and then pulled the power plug from the wall, and waited until the server
had shut down. This produced 352 lines of trace which you can see at
http://rogerprice.org/usbhid-ups.trace . There is no sign of an
instruction to switch off the UPS unit.
My skill as a C programmer is limited to owning a copy of K&R, but looking
at drivers/usbhid-ups.c, I'm guessing that upsdrv_shutdown should perform
a shutdown.return to switch off the UPS or return an error message, but
this doesn't seem to happen. Am I looking in the right place? Any hint on
debugging this would be welcome.
Roger
