Re: [Nut-upsuser] Ubuntu server won't restart
Citeren Erik Hjertén e...@hjerten.com: I'm quite stuck now so any pointers on how to troubleshoot is most appreciated. The first thing to check is whether or not the UPS receives the shutdown command. Power your system from an alternative source (this is important!) and run the command /path/to/usbhid-ups -k -a UPS This signals the UPS to cycle the output (if mains is present) or shutdown the output and wait for the power to return (if not). Look at the console for messages that are displayed. If the above works (both with and without mains present), there probably is an issue with running this command late in the system halt script. This is something the people from Ubuntu should be able to help you with. If it doesn't work, come back here for more help.

Thanks Arjen, problem solved. Comments below.

Look at the console for messages that are displayed. This worked as expected although it took about 60 sec for the UPS to power off. The server had plenty of time to shutdown gracefully. I examined the /etc/init.d/ups-monitor script (which is called from /etc/init.d/halt) and I noticed a reference to a POWEROFF_WAIT statement in /etc/default/nut. If present, the ups-monitor script waits the specified amount of time for the UPS to power down. If it doesn't, ups-monitor reboots the server. So I added POWEROFF_WAIT = 75 and now everything seems to work fine. Is this an appropriate way of solving this? Again, thanks for your help!

[Nut-upsuser] Ubuntu server won't restart
Hi all I have a simple setup: Ubuntu 9.04 server APC Back-UPS ES-700 connected with USB nut installed from packages (apt-get install nut). I guess that makes it version 2.4.1 ? The problem: When issuing: upsmon -c fsd I get a messages that the server will halt, and it does. But it won't restart again. I have set the BIOS to always power on, and this works fine when if I just cut the power and turn it back on without the UPS connected. If I understand this correctly the script /etc/init.d/halt is supposed to poweroff the UPS to cut the power to the server rather than letting it halt gracefully, and in that way make use of the BIOS power setting? I supect that this doesn't happen in my server and now I need help trouble shooting this. My configurations files are as follows: /etc/nut/nut.conf: MODE=netserver /etc/nut/ups.conf [UPS] driver = usbhid-ups port = auto /etc/nut/upsd.users [zem_mon] password = password allowfrom = localhost upsmon master [monuser] password = password allowfrom = local upsmon master /etc/nut/upsmon.conf MINSUPPLIES 1 SHUTDOWNCMD /sbin/shutdown -h +0 #also tried /sbin/shutdown -P +0 here POLLFREQ 5 POLLFREQALERT 5 HOSTSYNC 15 DEADTIME 15 POWERDOWNFLAG /etc/killpower RBWARNTIME 43200 NOCOMMWARNTIME 300 FINALDELAY 5 MONITOR UPS@localhost 1 zem_mon password master in /var/log/daemon.log I have: Feb 19 20:24:25 hactar upsmon[5328]: Signal 10: User requested FSD Feb 19 20:24:25 hactar upsd[5324]: Client zem_mon@127.0.0.1 set FSD on UPS [UPS] Feb 19 20:24:25 hactar upsmon[5328]: Executing automatic power-fail shutdown Feb 19 20:24:25 hactar upsmon[5328]: Auto logout and shutdown proceeding ...

Last message in /vat/log/syslog is: Feb 19 20:24:41 hactar exiting on signal 15 which seems to be a proper halt? I'm quite stuck now so any pointers on how to troubleshoot is most appreciated.
