 |
|
I have a CyberPower 825AVR-G UPS on my system. It connects to the computer with a USB. I downloaded the software from the CyberPower site and it seems to work fine except for one oddity.
If I start the pwrstatd daemon with the command "/etc/init.d/pwrstatd start" everything works fine.
When I attempt to start the daemon by using rc-update and adding pwrstatd to the default, it does not start and I don't know why.
Any ideas? |

The init script provided with pwrstatd is not in the correct format expected by Gentoo's runtime script (see the Writing Init Scripts section for more information).
Here's a modified version of the pwrstatd init script that should work correctly via rc-update (simply replace /etc/init.d/pwrstatd with this one):
| Code: |
#!/sbin/runscript
#
# default_pwrstatd: This shell script takes care of starting and stopping
# standalone pwrstatd.
#
# runlevel: 2345, start priority 99, stop priority 99
# description: The PowerPanel for Linux software is major help system
# to monitor UPS.
# daemon name: pwrstatd
# configuraion file: /etc/pwrstatd.conf
# /etc/init.d/pwrstatd symbolic link /usr/sbin/pwrstatd
PWRSTATD_BIN=/usr/sbin/pwrstatd
PROG=pwrstatd
VERSION="1.2.3"
RETVAL=0
RESULT=0
test -x $PWRSTATD_BIN || { echo "$PWRSTATD_BIN not installed";
if [ "$1" = "stop" ]; then exit 0;
else exit 5; fi; }
reload() {
echo -n "Reload service $PROG $VERSION"
# check pwrstatd process status
# CMD=`ps aux | grep "\\</usr/sbin/pwrstatd\\>"`
CMD=`ps aux | grep "/usr/sbin/pwrstatd" |grep -v "grep"` # without grep command
if [ ${#CMD} != 0 ]; then #check string length
set -- $CMD # set result as variable $1 ~ $9(max)
kill -HUP $2 # $2 denote process ID(PID)
RETVAL=$?
RESULT=1
else
# daemon is not existed
RESULT=0
fi
if [ $RESULT = 0 ]; then
echo -n " unused"
else
echo -n " reloading"
fi
echo
check
RETVAL=$?
return $RETVAL
}
status() {
echo -n "Check service status $PROG $VERSION"
# check pwrstatd process status
# CMD=`ps aux | grep "\\</usr/sbin/pwrstatd\\>"`
CMD=`ps aux | grep "/usr/sbin/pwrstatd" |grep -v "grep"` # without grep command
if [ ${#CMD} != 0 ]; then #check string length
# daemon is existed
RESULT=1
else
# daemon is not existed
RESULT=0
fi
if [ $RESULT = 0 ]; then
echo -n " unused"
else
echo -n " running"
fi
echo
check
RETVAL=$?
return $RETVAL
}
start() {
echo -n "Starting $PROG $VERSION"
# Start daemons.
echo -n $" starting"
echo
status # query daemon status
if [ $RESULT = 0 ]; then
$PWRSTATD_BIN & # run as background
RETVAL=$? # The $? variable denote get start daemon result
fi
check
return $RETVAL
}
stop() {
echo -n "Stopping $PROG $VERSION"
# Stop daemons.
echo -n $" stopping"
echo
# Terminate pwrstatd process!
CMD=`ps aux | grep "/usr/sbin/pwrstatd" |grep -v "grep"` # without grep command

set -- $CMD # set result as variable $1 ~ $9(max)
kill -TERM $2 # $2 denote process ID(PID)
RETVAL=$?
fi
check
return $RETVAL
}
restart() {
$0 stop
$0 start
check
}
check() {
if [ $RETVAL = 0 ]; then
echo "done"
else
echo "fail"
fi
}

CyberPower was not helpful in trying to troubleshoot their script.
I eventually was able to configure nut to monitor my UPS. I then configured knutclient to provide the status display. This works fairly well and gives a nice display of UPS status.
Thanks for your help. |
