Re: [Nut-upsuser] Nut fsd command ignored: bcmxcp_usb driver, Powerware 5105 UPS

upsd appears to send the FSD command to the UPS, upsmon then runs my NOTIFYCMD (which halts my PC) but the UPS just doesn't turn off. Here are the /var/log/daemon.log entries: I have seen a similar problem with usbhid-ups on an MGE Pulsar Evolution with Ubuntu 7.04. The machine shuts down on

I am thinking about using the existing NUT software to tell the slave servers to shutdown if the temperature in the server room becomes too high. If your UPS has a temperature sensor, that's possible. You could script something that polls 'ups.temperature' every minute and call 'upsmon -c

I'm using NUT with an MGE Ellipse USB, which I understand to be rather slow to respond. Every time I start the NUT services, I get the Communications lost notifications at first, but then it starts to work normally. Which version of NUT is this? This shouldn't happen anymore with nut-2.2.0.

My thought was not to worry about shutting down the UPS. Since I want to manually start the servers after a temp shutdown then if the server powers off as a slave monitoring the fake UPS the server will never reboot as the UPS will stay powered on. Or I could just be totally out in left field.

If not, you could still use a 'fake' UPS that is monitored by your upsmon master and use the NOTIFYCMD to create a flag that prevents 'upsdrvctl shutdown' from being called. Or even easier, by using the undocumented '-f configfile' option for upsmon, to specify an alternate upsmon.conf file,
