 |
|
My remote box is connected direclty to apcups and it is running "apcupsd"
However, when I pull the cord out of the wall the "onbattery" script is not
email me anything.
My configuration: apcupsd.conf
| Code: | UPSCABLE usb
UPSTYPE usb
DEVICE
POLLTIME 60
LOCKFILE /var/lock
SCRIPTDIR /etc/apcupsd
PWRFAILDIR /etc/apcupsd
NOLOGINDIR /etc
ONBATTERYDELAY 6
BATTERYLEVEL 60
MINUTES 10
TIMEOUT 0
ANNOY 300
ANNOYDELAY 60
NOLOGON disable
KILLDELAY 0
NETSERVER on
NISIP 0.0.0.0
NISPORT 3551
EVENTSFILE /var/log/apcupsd.events
EVENTSFILEMAX 10
UPSCLASS standalone
UPSMODE disable
STATTIME 0
STATFILE /var/log/apcupsd.status
LOGSTATS off
DATATIME 0 |
onbattery - script suppose to be called by "/etc/apcupsd/apccontrol" and execute it.
What am I missing?
I have "mailto" installed and it is working. I sent an email to "root" and I received it.
There is nothing to be configured in "onbattery" script. |

hi,
you have to edit the on battery event script and send yourself a mail when the script is executet. Normally, apcupsd sends a message via wall, so all logged in users are notified that the ups is running on battery. If you do not implement the mailing part, you wont get any mails.
You could also send a mail for every event by replacing the ${WALL} command in the apccontrol script, but if you overwrite the wall command, your logged in users are not notified when the ups status changes and they probably will get an unexpected logout.

I have "mailto" installed and it is working. I sent an email to "root" and I received it.
There is nothing to be configured in "onbattery" script:
| Code: | #!/bin/sh
#
# This shell script if placed in /etc/apcupsd
# will be called by /etc/apcupsd/apccontrol when the UPS
# goes on batteries.
# We send an email message to root to notify him.
#
SYSADMIN=root
APCUPSD_MAIL="/bin/mail"
HOSTNAME=`hostname`
MSG="$HOSTNAME Power Failure !!!"
#
(
echo "Subject: $MSG"
echo " "
echo "$MSG"
echo " "
/sbin/apcaccess status
) | $APCUPSD_MAIL -s "$MSG" $SYSADMIN
exit 0
The script is called by apccontrol and SYSADMIN=root |
Yes, I have "/bin/mail" on the path.
So I don't know why isn't it working. |

ok. i didn't know the mail part is already scripted in gentoo. please have a look at the var ONBATTERYDELAY in your apcupsd.conf. It will tell you, how long it takes unitl the event ONBATTERY is raised.
also, have a look at /var/log/apcupsd.event and pull out the cable to see if the event appears in the log.

I just checked the log "apcupsd.events" is not registering anything from apcupsd.
I unplug/plug the power from the wall and there was no entry in the /var/log/apcupsd.events

Though the problem I think it might be my small box. "Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU 330 @ 1.60GHz"
Though, I don't know how this could be causing a problem.
On a remote location I have two computers connected to this APCUPS, one is this Atom and another one full-tower box that is running apcupsd in a slave mode; and it is working correctly. When power goes down I get and email from my tower-box; but not from small one Atom. |
