[Nut-upsuser] NUT v2.6.4 with HP AF401A won't start

Tue Oct 30 09:31:50 UTC 2012

Hi Arnaud.

I think you’ve cracked it.  The following terminal output shows the package and also shows that when I start it from /usr/local/ups/bin it doesn’t crash.

[root at ups-monitor bin]# rpm -q nut
nut-2.6.4-1.el6.x86_64
[root at ups-monitor bin]# which upsdrvctl
/sbin/upsdrvctl
[root at ups-monitor bin]# pwd

[root at ups-monitor bin]# ls

[root at ups-monitor bin]#

I’ve uninstalled the package and re-run make install just to be sure and it starts up fine with upsdrvctl start, with the following message in /var/log/messages.
Oct 30 09:20:25 ups-monitor snmp-ups[32252]: Startup successful

Now it’s on to finishing the configuration and setting up the clients.

Many thanks for your help.

Regards,

Chris.

Hi Arnaud.

Hi Chris,

I’ve run the commands you suggested but it actually didn’t crash.  I let it run for about 10 minutes and it was obviously repeating the same messages so I broke it with Ctrl-C.

I’ve attached the terminal output (shortened to meet the file  size limit) and at the end it shows the message from trying to start it with upsdrvctl and the message in /var/log/messages.

just to be sure to understand since the end of the traces seems to be melted:
- the driver doesn't crash when using /usr/local/ups/bin/snmp-ups -DDDDD ...
- the driver crashes when using "upsdrvctl start"

is upsdrvctl also located in /usr/local/bin or do you have another one installed (RPM)?
could you please check using "rpm -q nut"?

cheers,
Arnaud
