Hello, I am using an APC BACK-UPS PRO 650 with the APC Cable 940-0095A. I used
the debian package to install the daemon. The funny is that my server comunicates with it, it updates the /etc/apcupsd.stats file with the voltage stuff, but it doesn't shutdown, even when I set a TIMEOUT in /etc/apcupsd.conf. It looks like it is working perfectly except it doesn't shutdown. Here is my /etc/apcupsd.conf file: ## apcupsd.conf v1.0 ## # # "apcupsd" POSIX config file # Updated for Debian/GNU Linux by Leon Breedt ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) # CONTROL <string> CONTROL /usr/sbin/powersc # UPSCABLE [ simple | smart | # 940-00(20B,23A,24B,24C,24G,95A,95C) | # 940-15(24C) | # ether ] # UPSCABLE 940-0095A # UPSTYPE [ backups | sharebasic | netups | # backupspro | smartvsups | # newbackupspro | backupspropnp | # smartups | matrixups | sharesmart ] # UPSTYPE backupspro # UPSCLASS [ standalone | shareslave | sharemaster | netslave | netmaster ] UPSCLASS standalone # UPSMODE [ disable | share | net | sharenet ] UPSMODE disable #DEVICE <string> /dev/<serial port> DEVICE /dev/ttyS0 #LOCKFILE <path to lockfile> LOCKFILE /var/lock #ACCESS <string> [ true | false ] Enable Access Support ACCESS true # ANNOY <int> <30> <0> disables ANNOY 30 # DELAY <int> <60> <0> disables DELAY 10 # NOLOGON <string> [ disable | timeout | percent | minutes | always ] NOLOGON timeout # PROCFS <int> <120> <0> disables <update rate procfs-type of current status> PROCFS 10 # LOGGING <int> <500> <0> disables <rate update log file of current status> LOGGING 300 # TIMEOUT <time is seconds to run on UPS, powerfails> TIMEOUT 10 # BATTERYLEVEL <precent of battery charge for shutdown> 10 BATTERYLEVEL 40 # MINUTES <time in minutes of remaining battery charge before shutdown> 5 MINUTES 15 # SENSITIVITY <char> H,M,L default H SENSITIVITY H # WAKEUP <int> 0,60,180,300 Cycles default 0 WAKEUP 60 # SLEEP <int> 20,180,300,600 Cycles default 20 SLEEP 20 # LOTRANSFER <int> 0,1,2,3 default 2 LOTRANSFER 2 # HITRANSFER <int> 0,1,2,3 default 2 HITRANSFER 3 # RETURNCHARGE <int> 0,1,2,3 default 3 RETURNCHARGE 1 # BEEPSTATE <char> 0,T,L,N default 0 BEEPSTATE L # SELFTEST <string> 336,168,ON,OFF default 336 SELFTEST 336 # # UPSNAME <string> UPSNAME UPS_IDEN # REPLACE <string> date format mm/dd/yy #REPLACE 12/13/93 # BATTCMD <string> #BATTCMD # TIMECMD <string> #TIMECMD # LOADCMD <string> #LOADCMD # LIMITCMD <string> #LIMITCMD # PWRCMD <string> #PWRCMD # RETCMD <string> #RETCMD # REMOTECMD <string> # HITRANSFER <int> 0,1,2,3 default 2 HITRANSFER 3 # RETURNCHARGE <int> 0,1,2,3 default 3 RETURNCHARGE 1 # BEEPSTATE <char> 0,T,L,N default 0 BEEPSTATE L # SELFTEST <string> 336,168,ON,OFF default 336 SELFTEST 336 # # UPSNAME <string> UPSNAME UPS_IDEN # REPLACE <string> date format mm/dd/yy #REPLACE 12/13/93 # BATTCMD <string> #BATTCMD # TIMECMD <string> #TIMECMD # LOADCMD <string> #LOADCMD # LIMITCMD <string> #LIMITCMD # PWRCMD <string> #PWRCMD # RETCMD <string> #RETCMD # REMOTECMD <string> # PWRCMD <string> #PWRCMD # RETCMD <string> #RETCMD # REMOTECMD <string> #REMOTECMD # NETTIME <int> #NETTIME 100 # NETPORT <int> #NETPORT 6666 # MASTER <string> #MASTER # SLAVE <string> #SLAVE #SLAVE #SLAVE #SLAVE #SLAVE #SLAVE #SLAVE #SLAVE #SLAVE #SLAVE # USERMAGIC <string> #USERMAGIC # HTTPACCESS [ true | false ] enable web-interface - defaults to false #HTTPACCESS true # HTTPPORT <port> port to use for interface - defaults to 1999 #HTTP# PWRCMD <string> #PWRCMD # RETCMD <string> #RETCMD # REMOTECMD <string> #REMOTECMD # NETTIME <int> #NETTIME 100 # NETPORT <int> #NETPORT 6666 # MASTER <string> #MASTER # SLAVE <string> #SLAVE #SLAVE #SLAVE #SLAVE #SLAVE #SLAVE #SLAVE #SLAVE #SLAVE #SLAVE # USERMAGIC <string> #USERMAGIC # HTTPACCESS [ true | false ] enable web-interface - defaults to false #HTTPACCESS true # HTTPPORT <port> port to use for interface - defaults to 1999 #HTTPPORT 1999PORT 1999 My /etc/apcups.stats says: APC : Dec 14 14:36:37 CABLE : APC Cable 940-0095A UPSMODEL : BACK-UPS PRO 650 UPSMODE : Stand Alone LINEFAIL : OK BATTSTAT : OK LINEVOLT : OK UPSNAME : UPS_IDEN ULINE : 113.7 Volts MLINE : 114.4 Volts NLINE : 113.7 Volts FLINE : 60.0 Hz VOUTP : 113.7 Volts LOUTP : 013.0 Load Capacity BOUTP : 13.9 Volts BCHAR : 100.0 Batt.
