Nut upsuser - Dec 2008 - ubuntu 8.04 upssched CANCEL-TIMER ignored

hello,

every two weeks my system shutsdown because my apc ups does a self  
test and nut is not picking up the cancel timer event.

according to me all settings are correct. in my upssched-cmd script i  
execute a remote shutdown, because nut is running in a virtual machine  
and i want the script to shutdown all hosts in my esx environment.

my upssched-cmd script
----
#!/bin/sh
# !! COPY THIS FILE TO /USR/SBIN/UPSSCHED-CMD !!
LOGGER=/usr/bin/logger
WALL=/usr/bin/wall
UPSMON=/sbin/upsmon

case $1 in
     onbatt)
	$LOGGER -t upssched-cmd "The UPS has been on battery for awhile"
  	echo "The UPS has been on battery for a while, logout right now!" |
$WALL
         ;;
     shutdown)
         $LOGGER -t upssched-cmd "UPS on battery too long, shutdown  
all virtual machines on ESX host"
#	/usr/bin/ssh root at 192.168.1.2 '/usr/bin/nohup /root/shutdown.sh > /

         ;;
     offbatt)
	$LOGGER -t upssched-cmd "The UPS is online again"
  	echo "The UPS is online again" | $WALL
	;;
     *)
         $LOGGER -t upssched-cmd "ERROR!! $0 doesn't support $1"
         ;;

my upssched.conf

Do you have the EXEC flag set on the ONLINE event in 'upsmon.conf'?

It usually helps if you mention which NUT version you're using. I  
don't have a clue which is shipped with Ubuntu 8.04 (and you may not  
be using their packaged version anyway).

Since upsmon clearly sees the ONLINE event, we can rule out driver  
problems. I'm wondering where the logger output went by the way, it  
would be useful to see that.

Best regards, Arjen
