I fixed a couple issues in the RedHat init script provided in the scripts directory. There are some other things about it that could use updating, but first I checked out the one included with the RPM (https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/nut). That one looks pretty good, maybe it should replace the included scripts if permission is given by mhlavink? -------------- next part -------------- --- /root/sources/nut-2.6.5/scripts/RedHat/upsd 2012-07-31 10:38:56.000000000 -0700 +++ /etc/init.d/upsd 2013-09-24 16:36:42.000000000 -0700 @@ -58,16 +58,16 @@ start) # new style drivers uses 'upsdrvctl' echo -n "NUT Starting UPS model drivers: " - # starting ase nut user + # starting as nut user daemon --user $NUTUSER `which upsdrvctl` start - echo if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then + echo echo -n "NUT Starting UPS daemon: " - # starting ase nut user + # starting as nut user daemon upsd -u $NUTUSER - echo touch /var/lock/subsys/upsd fi + echo ;; stop) @@ -98,9 +98,6 @@ ;; status) - # new style drivers - action "NUT: checking UPS model drivers" upsdrvctl status - status upsd ;; *)
