Both built fine. ;-) So now I am trying to setup apc-upsd. The machine is a old sparc SPARCstation 5 Model 110 (http://www.obsolyte.com/sun_ss5/ss5_110.pdf) I have set the serial ports to RS-232 mode (by changing the jumpers).
The file apc-upsd.conf I use is as follows: # cat /etc/apc-upsd.conf # # apc-upsd.conf # # ups is connected to ... # OpenBSD ... device /dev/tty00 #device /dev/tty00 device /dev/ttyb # # startuptest sends a 'test' sequence to the smart series # startuptest ON # debug ON|OFF # # OFF ... normal operation # ON .... don't start as daemon, do tests in smart mode #debugmode OFF debugmode ON # smartmode # ON ...... APC Smart-UPS with black cable # OFF ..... APC BackUPS with gray cable smartmode ON # # extendedsmart # # gives temperature info etc .. # extendedsmart ON # time till shutdown in seconds time 15 # execute this at shutdown time execute /sbin/halt # pidfile pidfile /var/run/upsd.pid # every (n) seconds output information from the ups # to syslog infotime 3600 ----------file ends here------------- The problem is when I run apc-upsd : # apc-upsd /etc/apc-upsd.conf, 55 lines: ========================================== device ............... /dev/ttyb pidfile .............. /var/run/upsd.pid exec script .......... /sbin/halt debug mode ........... 1 wait seconds ......... 15 infotime seconds ..... 3600 smartmode ............ 1 extended smartinfo ... 1 startuptest .......... 1 not forking in debug mode ... ... and stays there for ever, whereas it should print the ups' stats. Which means probably it does not communicate with the UPS. The UPS is an APC Smart-UPS SC 620VA 230V (http://www.apc.com/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=SC620I) The UPS' cable is a black serial cable supplied by apc and tested to work on the same UPS with apcupsd on linux. Any help for testing my serial port (/dev/ttyb) connection to the UPS?
