This looks like another driver is already attached to your Belkin. Perhaps you already have a copy of newhidups running in the background, or perhaps as a zombie process left over from previous experiments. Try ps -ef | grep ups to see what is running, and kill it if necessary. -- Peter A.Lizard wrote:> > I almost had nut_2.0.5-3_i386.deb (from > http://packages.debian.org/unstable/admin/nut - installed via dpkg, not via > repository) working: > > * problems with getting it to come up during boot > * monitoring via knutclient was OK > * shutdown on low battery worked adequately, if not quite as described) > > and newhidups suddenly stopped talking to my Belkin F6C550-AVR .

The fact that it works when both the driver and upsd are passed "-u root" points to a permissions problem. Basically, you need to pass the same system user to "-u" on both the driver and upsd. Users in ups.users are not connected to the system user IDs, but they are one part of the system used to prevent random users from being able to shut down the system. -- - Charles Lepple
As I said earlier, I got it working using the -u root option.
I'm running on the Debian distribution.
Upon upsmon -c fsd , it shuts down the workstation, but NOT the UPS. In
order to shut down both, I first tried Peter Selinger's shutdown patch for
init.d halt :
note: program locations reflect where nut*.deb puts things in the Debian
filesystem.
if [ -f /etc/killpower ] ; then
# if USB is already disabled, re-enable it.
if [ ! -f /proc/bus/usb/devices ]; then
echo "Mounting USB filesystem"
mount -t usbfs usbfs /proc/bus/usb
fi
# hotplugging is probably off, so run driver as -u root
echo "Killing the power, bye!"
/lib/nut/newhidups -u root -k belkin-ups
sleep 20
# uh oh... the UPS power-off failed
# you probably want to reboot here so you don't get stuck!
# *** see the section on power races in shutdown.txt! ***
echo "Rebooting."
reboot
fi
I tried inserting it:
# See if we need to cut the power.
if [ "$INIT_HALT" = "POWEROFF" ] && [ -x
/etc/init.d/ups-monitor ]
then
/etc/init.d/ups-monitor poweroff
fi
before and after /etc/init.d/ups-monitor poweroff.
I then tried changing the ups-monitor script:
original version:
poweroff)
flag=`sed -ne 's#^ *POWERDOWNFLAG *\(.*\)$#\1#p'
/etc/nut/upsmon.conf`
wait_delay=`sed -ne 's#^ *POWEROFF_WAIT= *\(.*\)$#\1#p'
/etc/default/nut`
if [ -f "$flag" ] ; then
if /sbin/upsmon -K >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then
echo "Shutting down the UPS ..."
sleep 1
# if /sbin/upsdrvctl shutdown ; then
I tried changing:
if /sbin/upsdrvctl -u root shutdown ; then
That failed. I then tried changing the above line to:
if /lib/nut/newhidups -a belkin-ups -k ; then
What I got was hundreds of iterations of "did not claim interface 0 before
use"
if /lib/nut/newhidups -a belkin-ups -k ; then
Note: /sbin/upsdrvctl -u root [command] belkin-ups
works for:
start
stop
but NOT shutdown
I decided that if things are to the point where I'm trying to modify
ups-monitor, it's time for me to ask for help.
