CentOS 5.6 and Auto Shutdown when UPS Power is On

[amithad]

Are you using the full path to shutdown (i.e., /sbin/shutdown) in your SHUTDOWNCMD?

Yes Atreyu, I'm using the full path to shutdown command

You are correct I should not use that "POWERDOWNFLAG "/sbin/shutdown -P +0" in the upsmon.conf file.

When I try the upsmon -c fsd with my current confuguration it gave the following output

[root@proxy ~]# upsmon -c fsd
Network UPS Tools upsmon 2.6.5
kill: No such process

After commenting the POWERDOWNFLAG "/sbin/shutdown -P +0" line and re-enabling the POWERDOWNFLAG /etc/ups/killpower line and executing upsmon -c fsd command, I was able to shutdown the server

[root@proxy ups]# upsmon -c fsd
Network UPS Tools upsmon 2.6.5
[root@proxy ups]#

but the five minute setting is the one that hard to achive

but the five minute setting is the one that hard to achive

Again, quoting the upsmon.conf man page:

FINALDELAY seconds

When running in master mode, upsmon waits this long after sending the NOTIFY_SHUTDOWN to warn the users. After the timer elapses, it then runs your SHUTDOWNCMD. By default this is set to 5 seconds.

So have you tried setting FINALDELAY to 300 in your conf file?
