/etc/apcupsd/ exists:

[root@mythtv6 apcupsd]# dir
apccontrol apcupsd.css commfailure hosts.conf multimon.conf onbattery upsimage.cgi
apcupsd.conf changeme commok multimon.cgi offbattery upsfstats.cgi upsstats.cgi

running your commands raises questions ??

[root@mythtv6 apcupsd]# sv status apcupsd
fail: apcupsd: unable to change to service directory: file does not exist

[root@mythtv6 apcupsd]# sv restart apcupsd
fail: apcupsd: unable to change to service directory: file does not exist

If I just type apcupsd:

[root@mythtv6 apcupsd]# apcupsd
[root@mythtv6 apcupsd]#

It doesn't error ?
The .conf file lines are correct as you listed them.

And NETSERVER on

but it has a connection problem ?

[root@mythtv6 log]# apcaccess status
Error contacting apcupsd @ localhost:3551: Connection refused

I have apcupsd running on another machine (running 5.5) and may steal that conf file, but this machine running 6 may have version differences.

This test machine ran apcupsd fine when it was running 5.5.

I may still have something obvious, but every time I look at it I see 2 + 2 =5.. . Nods OK... moves on..

Code:
[root@mythtv6 greg]# add_service.sh apcupsd ; sv restart apcupsd
adding apcupsd
warning: apcupsd: unable to open supervise/ok: file does not exist
[root@mythtv6 greg]#


So I repeated the sv restart command by itself.. then-



Code:
[root@mythtv6 ~]# cd /var/log/
[root@mythtv6 log]# dir
Xorg.0.log      auth.log      errors.log        kernel.log.1  messages.log.1           old           user.log

....& a nano of apcupsd status & apcupsd.events now prints them out...and-

Thank you sir !.... :lol:

Do you suppose my install dropped a stitch, or will everybody running a UPS on 6, need to run your commands to bring it up ?

I have apcupsd running but when I try to get it's status

apcaccess status

I get the following message:

Code:
Error contacting apcupsd @ localhost:3551: Operation not permitted


Does anyone know how to get around this error?

By the way it appears that I do have valid information written to the apcupsd.status and apcupsd.events files.

Thanks
Tim

Ironically I just tried the same thing and I am having the same problem. I'll let you know if I find anything. (I haven't tried restarting yet)

I can't reproduce the problem here but have you checked permissions on /sbin/apcaccess and /var/log/apcupsd.status? Do you get the same if you sudo apcaccess status?

I do get the same message if I sudo and also if I am logged in as root. I didn't check permissions as I didn't suppose it would matter if it denied root access as well. I'll try to provide a lot more information about my software versions and the part # of my UPS, etc. when I have a chance.

Just a short note to say how bloody wonderous this forum is... took delivery of an APC Back-UPS 700 today, plugged it in... pacman installed apcupsd (as above), did the tricks above, and hey-presto... I have a UPS powered and protected LinHES system!

No configuration changes required, just that little dance about the services (sv etc).

Top stuff!

Nathan

A quick note:

I run four APC UPS's on linux machines running apcupsd in my house. I use Gapcmon (a linux apcupsd monitor program) to monitor all of them from one desktop (running Kubuntu).

:D

No luck here, still getting the same message.

I think it is working but can't be sure. If you stop the service
Code:
sv stop apcupsd

you can run
Code:
 apctest

apctest works ok, and after you restart the service
Code:
sv start apcupsd

you do get good status information in
/var/log/apcupsd.status

It would be nice to get this resolved though.

Same here tscholl... I think I am on R6.00, how about you? I may just unplug the UPS sometime and see if my unit shuts down gracefully.

After upgrading to 6.03 it does not work at all on my machine.
I have apcupsd v3.14.8
the message in /var/log/apcupsd.events is:
Code:
2010-10-31 20:09:55 -0500  apcupsd FATAL ERROR in linux-usb.c at line 609
Cannot find UPS device --
For a link to detailed USB trouble shooting information,
please see <http://www.apcupsd.com/support.html>.
2010-10-31 20:09:55 -0500  apcupsd error shutdown completed

It appears to keep attempting to restart every minute, which just fills the log. I tried removing it and installing from source, but the same problem there, too. I am just removing it for the time being.
