This allows powerdown of the ups at the end of OS shutdown, with only / mounted and /usr dismounted, though /lib or /lib64 are still needed. 2/ -o instead of -a in test for both executables, so previous error is not trapped. diff -u of patch --- /etc/init.d/apcupsd.old 2011-02-19 07:37:54.000000000 +0000 +++ /etc/init.d/apcupsd 2011-07-02 17:43:35.000000000 +0100 @@ -26,8 +26,8 @@ ### END INIT INFO APCUPSD=/usr/sbin/apcupsd -APCUPSD_LITE=/usr/sbin/apcupsd-lite -test -x $APCUPSD -o -x $APCUPSD_LITE || exit 5 +APCUPSD_LITE=/sbin/apcupsd-lite +test -x $APCUPSD -a -x $APCUPSD_LITE || exit 5 # Shell functions sourced from /etc/rc.status: # rc_check check and set local and overall rc status Quick explanation of consequences of this bug. When a power failure occurs, the UPS notifies the UPS daemon on the computer, which waits for delay TIMEOUT set in /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf for a power reconnected notification, else it initiates a shutdown of the computer. Once the computer has started to shut down, it will continue untill it actually has shut down, and won't restart until it's power supply is cycled off and on again by the UPS. This means that once the shutdown process has started, in order to power the computer off and on again,(even if the supply has already been reconnected), just before the OS shuts down, the UPS daemon on the computer must tell the UPS to switch off the power. Once the computer is powered off, the UPS can then reconnect power back to the computer, as soon as it's own supply has been reconnected for WAKEUP no of seconds, set in /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf. As most volumes will be dismounted, the software and its associated libraries which tell the UPS to power off must be contained only in the / partition, so a cut down utility called apcupsd-lite is provided, installed in /sbin rather than /usr/sbin This bug will leave the UPS running, so the computer will not get power-cycled (unless the battery runs down and the UPS shuts its-self off) and the computer will not be restarted without manual intervention, even though the power supply has been restored . -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
