Hi, after examining the problem a bit further, I figured out that "/etc/init.d/ups-monitor" is executed by "/etc/init.d/halt" (which belongs to the package "initscripts")! I really do not understand how and why that happened but #670094 already handles that.
I am not really sure but it seems that "/etc/init.d/halt" is not executed by systemd (which makes sense for me). So I wrote a systemd-service "/etc/systemd/system/apcupsd-killpower.service" [Unit] Description=apcupsd: Ordering UPS to kill power (if onbattery/powerfail) DefaultDependencies=no Before=shutdown.target [Service] ExecStart=/etc/init.d/ups-monitor killpower Type=oneshot [Install] WantedBy=shutdown.target and did: # systemctl enable apcupsd-killpower.service Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/shutdown.target.wants/apcupsd-killpower.service to /etc/systemd/system/apcupsd-killpower.service But my first killpower-test gave me errors: # journalctl | grep ups-monitor Dec 11 18:50:42 server ups-monitor[2780]: apcupsd: Ordering UPS to kill power... wall: cannot get tty name: Inappropriate ioctl for device Dec 11 18:50:42 server ups-monitor[2780]: wall: /dev/pts/0: No such file or directory So I fixed "/etc/apcupsd/apccontrol" (see #709612): # git diff /etc/apcupsd/apccontrol diff --git a/apcupsd/apccontrol b/apcupsd/apccontrol index 136ff36..b296f82 100755 --- a/apcupsd/apccontrol +++ b/apcupsd/apccontrol @@ -62,10 +62,10 @@ fi case "$1" in killpower) - echo "Apccontrol doing: ${APCUPSD} --killpower on UPS ${2}" | ${WALL} + echo "Apccontrol doing: ${APCUPSD} --killpower on UPS ${2}" sleep 10 ${APCUPSD} --killpower - echo "Apccontrol has done: ${APCUPSD} --killpower on UPS ${2}" | ${WALL} + echo "Apccontrol has done: ${APCUPSD} --killpower on UPS ${2}" ;; commfailure) echo "Warning communications lost with UPS ${2}" | ${WALL} (I don't think that "wall" was ever needed so late in the shutdown process). Please note that I first named the service "ups-monitor.service" which seemed to conflict with "/etc/init.d/ups-monitor" but I didn't know how to fix that... As I am by far a systemd expert I would love to hear some comments on this solution but at least this works for us. Thank you. Regards, - Darsha
