Package: nut-client Version: 2.7.4-5.1+b1 Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
Description =========== I had a power failure last week and upsmon tried correctly to shutdown the system. This did not work. During the process I got first on all terminals the wall message: > Executing automatic power-fail shutdown And at the same time in syslog: > upsmon[2965]: Auto logout and shutdown proceeding 5 seconds later I have gotten in syslog: > upsmon[2963]: parent: Unable to call shutdown command: /sbin/shutdown -P +0 and the shutdown was never started. Investigation ============= The package nut-client comes preconfigured in /etc/nut/upsmon.conf with SHUTDOWNCMD "/sbin/shutdown -P +0" If I run this command as root at the command line I get: > shutdown: -H and -P flags can only be used along with -h flag. Solution ======== I added "-h" to the SHUTDOWNCMD and the problem is gone. SHUTDOWNCMD "/sbin/shutdown -h -P +0" Kindly adjust the default upsmon.conf. Thanks!
