Hi Mark. I've been using apcupsd for years. I'm on Centos 5.8. Don't you mean apcupsd.conf for your configuration settings? That's the one I use to configure apcupsd.

Yes there is; create a custom script for the command ($1) that you want to trap and make it exit 99; then apccontrol will not continue on to the shutdown part. Which I said previously. > Suggestions on what I can do *other* than build the package myself? I Read what apccontrol does; determine the commands you want to trap (probably doshutdown, doreboot) and create a script of that name in /etc/apcupsd/ and make it "exit 99". FWIW, my UPS trips many times... eg Oct 8 10:03:11 myhost apcupsd[9774]: Power failure. Oct 8 10:03:15 myhost apcupsd[9774]: Power is back. UPS running on mains. Oct 10 20:57:12 myhost apcupsd[9774]: Power failure. Oct 10 20:57:14 myhost apcupsd[9774]: Power is back. UPS running on mains. Oct 11 18:51:35 myhost apcupsd[9774]: Power failure.

[CentOS] disk device lvm iscsi questions ....
Hi, I have an iscsistorage which I attached to a new centos 6.3 server. I added logic volumes as usual, the block devices (sdb & sdc) showed up in dmesg; I can mount and access the stored files. Now we did an firmware software update to that storage (while unmounted/detached from the fileserver) and after reboot of the storage and reatache the iscsi nodes I do get new devices. (sdd & sde) The last time I remember a simple vgchange -ay changed all neede settings so that I can mount and use the volumes as expected. But this time I do get an IO error like /dev/sun7110to_dali_LUN_3/lvol0: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 1610608476160: Eingabe-/Ausgabefehler but also: 1 logical volume(s) in volume group "sun7110to_dali_LUN_3" now active What might be messed up? What can I try do get the storage/filesystems back online? Thanks for any sugesstion and regards .

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Reminder Date: Friday November 9th, 2012
Time: From 5:00 UTC to 23:00 UTC
We would like to invite everyone to come join us in #centos-devel on
irc.freenode.net this Friday Nov 9th, 2012 for a CentOS test day. The
aim of the exercise is to get more people looking at the tests we
already have, running them on their infrastructure and ultimately
joining the effort as contributors.
You will need a machine instance ( either physical machine, or a VPS or
a Cloud Instance or a VM on your machine ); need a VM image ? you can
download one from here as prep :
http://dev.centos.org/centos/test-images/ - being able to connect to the
internet from that machine instance is essential, and as there are quite
a few packages installed / uninstalled / cleaned out - a local CentOS
mirror would be handy if you are on a slow link to the internet.
The tests are mostly written in bash, but you can use any language you
like - just grab yourself a gitorious.org account in advance. Knowledge
of git helps, but isn't necessary.
The test day will run from 05:00 UTC till 23:00 UTC, and there will be a
couple of the CentOS QA guys and people who have contributed to the
tests already, to help you get started and join the effort. We will have
brief, clear instructions on :
- Getting a copy of the most current tests
- Set them up on your machine instance
- Run the tests
- Feedback results and recommendations
- Templates to wri

[CentOS] apcupsd
Anyone else around using apcupsd? I seem to be seeing a problem, and I'd like someone to check me on it: I edit /etc/apcupsd/apccontrol to replace the value of SHUTDOWN from /sbin/shutdown to /bin/false (we don't want 3 or 6 servers shutting down over a 2 second or so blip, which it really wants to do). What's happened is that a machine shut down the other day, and looking at it, I found that the config file was set to the original code... and I *KNOW*, for a fact, that I went through every single server that's attached to a UPS many months ago, after something important shut down, and fixed all of them. So, it looks like an upgrade undid my change, rather than creating apccontrol.rpmnew.

It wouldn't normally do that, until the battery is almost drained. Taken from apcupsd.conf: # 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 Basically, systems shouldn't shutdown with a '2 second blip' unless your battery is dead. > it, I found that the config file was set to the original code... and I apccontrol isn't flagged as a config file in the rpm ./etc/apcupsd/apccontrol . c /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf . c /etc/apcupsd/changeme . c /etc/apcupsd/commfailure . c /etc/apcupsd/commok . c /etc/apcupsd/offbattery . c /etc/apcupsd/onbattery . c /etc/logrotate.d/apcupsd > Has anyone seen this behavior? The script says # WARNING: the apccontrol file will be overwritten every time you update your # apcupsd, doing `make install'. Your own customized scripts will _not_ be # overwritten. If you wish to make changes to this file (discouraged), you # should change apccontrol.sh.in and then rerun the configure process. If you can't change apcupsd.conf config to meet your needs then _don't_ change apccontrol; add a custom script that does an "exit 99" to prevent the shutdown from running. -- rgds Stephen ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
