I need a little help on this problem, please? I include
my /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf file is attached. port 3551 udp/tcp has
been added to the (running) firewall. My APC is recognized as:
APC Back-UPS 450 FW:844.Kld.D USB FW:Kld
This from the hardware browser.
PS says:
root 2419 0.0 0.0 4196 584 ? Ss Mar23
0:09 /sbin/apcupsd -f /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf
Is group 2419 the problem? What should I name it? apcupsd?
The status field of the Service Configuration GUI says:
apcupsd (pid 2419) is running...
Error contacting host localhost port 3551: Connection refused
TIA

# for apcupsd release 3.14.3 (20 January 2008) - redhat
#
# "apcupsd" POSIX config file
#
# ========= General configuration parameters ===========#
# UPSNAME xxx
# Use this to give your UPS a name in log files and such. This
# is particulary useful if you have multiple UPSes. This does not
# set the EEPROM. It should be 8 characters or less.
#UPSNAME
# UPSCABLE <cable>
# Defines the type of cable connecting the UPS to your computer.
#
# Possible generic choices for <cable> are:
# simple, smart, ether, usb
#
# Or a specific cable model number may be used:
# 940-0119A, 940-0127A, 940-0128A, 940-0020B,
# 940-0020C, 940-0023A, 940-0024B, 940-0024C,
# 940-1524C, 940-0024G, 940-0095A, 940-0095B,
# 940-0095C, M-04-02-2000
#
#UPSCABLE smart
UPSCABLE usb
# To get apcupsd to work, in addition to defining the cable
# above, you must also define a UPSTYPE, which corresponds to
# the type of UPS you have (see the Description for more details).
# You must also specify a DEVICE, sometimes referred to as a port.
# For USB UPSes, please leave the DEVICE directive blank. For
# other UPS types, you must specify an appropriate port or address.
#
# UPSTYPE DEVICE Description
# apcsmart /dev/tty** Newer serial character device,
# appropriate for SmartUPS models using
# a serial cable (not USB).
#
# usb <BLANK> Most new UPSes are USB. A blank DEVICE
# setting enables autodetection, which is
# the best choice for most installations.
#
# net hostname:port Network link to a master apcupsd
# through apcupsd's Network Information
# Server. This is used if you don't have
# a UPS directly connected to your computer.
#
# snmp hostname:port:vendor:community
# SNMP Network link to an SNMP-enabled
# UPS device. Vendor is the MIB used by
# the UPS device: can be "APC",
"APC_NOTRAP"
# or "RFC" where APC is the powernet MIB,
# "APC_NOTRAP" is powernet with SNMP trap
# catching disabled, and RFC is the IETF's
# rfc1628 UPS-MIB. You usually want "APC".
# Port is usually 161. Community is usually
# "private".
#
# dumb /dev/tty** Old serial character device for use
# with simple-signaling UPSes.
#
# pcnet ipaddr:username:passphrase
# PowerChute Network Shutdown protocol
# which can be used as an alternative to SNMP
# with AP9617 family of smart slot cards.
# ipaddr is the IP address of the UPS mgmt
# card. username and passphrase are the
# credentials for which the card has been
# configured.
#
#UPSTYPE apcsmart
#DEVICE /dev/ttyS0
UPSTYPE usb
DEVICE
# LOCKFILE <path to lockfile>
# Path for device lock file. Not used on Win32.
LOCKFILE /var/lock
# SCRIPTDIR <path to script directory>
# Directory in which apccontrol and event scripts are located.
SCRIPTDIR /etc/apcupsd
# PWRFAILDIR <path to powerfail directory>
# Directory in which to write the powerfail flag file. This file
# is created when apcupsd initiates a system shutdown and is
# checked in the OS halt scripts to determine if a killpower
# (turning off UPS output power) is required.
PWRFAILDIR /etc/apcupsd
# NOLOGINDIR <path to nologin directory>
# Directory in which to write the nologin file. The existence
# of this flag file tells the OS to disallow new logins.
NOLOGINDIR /etc
#
# ======== Configuration parameters used during power failures =========#
# The ONBATTERYDELAY is the time in seconds from when a power failure
# is detected until we react to it with an onbattery event.
#
# This means that, apccontrol will be called with the powerout argument
# immediately when a power failure is detected. However, the
# onbattery argument is passed to apccontrol only after the
# ONBATTERYDELAY time. If you don't want to be annoyed by short
# powerfailures, make sure that apccontrol powerout does nothing
# i.e. comment out the wall.
ONBATTERYDELAY 6
#
# Note: BATTERYLEVEL, MINUTES, and TIMEOUT work in conjunction, so
# the first that occurs will cause the initation of a shutdown.
#
# If during a power failure, the remaining battery percentage
# (as reported by the UPS) is below or equal to BATTERYLEVEL,
# apcupsd will initiate a system shutdown.
BATTERYLEVEL 5
# If during a power failure, the remaining runtime in minutes
# (as calculated internally by the UPS) is below or equal to MINUTES,
# apcupsd, will initiate a system shutdown.
MINUTES 3
# If during a power failure, the UPS has run on batteries for TIMEOUT
# many seconds or longer, apcupsd will initiate a system shutdown.
# A value of 0 disables this timer.
#
# Note, if you have a Smart UPS, you will most likely want to disable
# this timer by setting it to zero. That way, you UPS will continue
# on batteries until either the % charge remaing drops to or below
BATTERYLEVEL,
# or the remaining battery runtime drops to or below MINUTES. Of course,
# if you are testing, setting this to 60 causes a quick system shutdown
# if you pull the power plug.
# If you have an older dumb UPS, you will want to set this to less than
# the time you know you can run on batteries.
TIMEOUT 0
# Time in seconds between annoying users to signoff prior to
# system shutdown. 0 disables.
ANNOY 300
# Initial delay after power failure before warning users to get
# off the system.
ANNOYDELAY 60
# The condition which determines when users are prevented from
# logging in during a power failure.
# NOLOGON <string> [ disable | timeout | percent | minutes | always ]
NOLOGON disable
# If KILLDELAY is non-zero, apcupsd will continue running after a
# shutdown has been requested, and after the specified time in
# seconds attempt to kill the power. This is for use on systems
# where apcupsd cannot regain control after a shutdown.
# KILLDELAY <seconds> 0 disables
KILLDELAY 0
#
# ==== Configuration statements for Network Information Server ===#
# NETSERVER [ on | off ] on enables, off disables the network
# information server. If netstatus is on, a network information
# server process will be started for serving the STATUS and
# EVENT data over the network (used by CGI programs).
NETSERVER off
# NISIP <dotted notation ip address>
# IP address on which NIS server will listen for incoming connections.
# This is useful if your server is multi-homed (has more than one
# network interface and IP address). Default value is 0.0.0.0 which
# means any incoming request will be serviced. Alternatively, you can
# configure this setting to any specific IP address of your server and
# NIS will listen for connections only on that interface. Use the
# loopback address (127.0.0.1) to accept connections only from the
# local machine.
NISIP 127.0.0.1
# NISPORT <port> default is 3551 as registered with the IANA
# port to use for sending STATUS and EVENTS data over the network.
# It is not used unless NETSERVER is on. If you change this port,
# you will need to change the corresponding value in the cgi directory
# and rebuild the cgi programs.
NISPORT 3551
# If you want the last few EVENTS to be available over the network
# by the network information server, you must define an EVENTSFILE.
EVENTSFILE /var/log/apcupsd.events
# EVENTSFILEMAX <kilobytes>
# By default, the size of the EVENTSFILE will be not be allowed to exceed
# 10 kilobytes. When the file grows beyond this limit, older EVENTS will
# be removed from the beginning of the file (first in first out). The
# parameter EVENTSFILEMAX can be set to a different kilobyte value, or set
# to zero to allow the EVENTSFILE to grow without limit.
EVENTSFILEMAX 10
#
# ========== Configuration statements used if sharing ============# a
UPS with more than one machine
# NETTIME <int>
# Interval (in seconds) at which the NIS client polls the server.
# Used only when this apcupsd is a network client (UPSTYPE net).
#NETTIME 60
#
# Remaining items are for ShareUPS (APC expansion card) ONLY
#
# UPSCLASS [ standalone | shareslave | sharemaster ]
# Normally standalone unless you share an UPS using an APC ShareUPS
# card.
UPSCLASS standalone
# UPSMODE [ disable | share ]
# Normally disable unless you share an UPS using an APC ShareUPS card.
UPSMODE disable
#
# ===== Configuration statements to control apcupsd system logging =======#
# Time interval in seconds between writing the STATUS file; 0 disables
STATTIME 0
# Location of STATUS file (written to only if STATTIME is non-zero)
STATFILE /var/log/apcupsd.status
# LOGSTATS [ on | off ] on enables, off disables
# Note! This generates a lot of output, so if
# you turn this on, be sure that the
# file defined in syslog.conf for LOG_NOTICE is a named pipe.
# You probably do not want this on.
LOGSTATS off
# Time interval in seconds between writing the DATA records to
# the log file. 0 disables.
DATATIME 0
# FACILITY defines the logging facility (class) for logging to syslog.
# If not specified, it defaults to "daemon". This is useful
# if you want to separate the data logged by apcupsd from other
# programs.
#FACILITY DAEMON
