Maintenance

UPS init scripts are the following:

/etc/init.d/upsdrv (initialize the driver infraestructure)
/etc/init.d/upsd (ups daemon)
/etc/init.d/upsmon (ups monitoring utility – programmed to shut down the system when battery is critically low and power is unplugged)

Retrieving UPS info (all):

upsc myups@localhost

This command can also be executed in user mode (does not need admin privileges)

Fixing communication issues:

  • Disconnect usb (either physically or through kernel interface)
  • Restart init scripts:
/etc/init.d/upsdrv restart
/etc/init.d/upsd restart
/etc/init.d/upsmon restart
