APCUPSD is not shutting down machines.

[Anonymous user]

Hi people!

I have a little problem with APCUPSD application. The situation is that:

I have connected four computers to a single UPS. One of them are connected to UPS via USB (computer A), and the idea is that, when the battery level be at 50% (approximately), with the information sent by computer A to the rest of machines about the state of the UPS, that computers can shutting down by your self.

The problem is: when the battery level reach the 50% of charge, no computers is shutting down except the computer A 😕

All the computers are running APCUPSD. I was modified the config file, but as I found no solution, I tried modify the apccontrol.bat for execute another .bat when the desired event is triggered. This bat execute a Telnet client, but telnet is never run.

I almost haven't more ideas 😕
maybe I'm doing a bad configuration.

If any can help me, I will be very grateful.
Thanks and regards.

Hi,

There are instruction in the APCUPSD manual for your configuration. Here is a link to that information http://www.apcupsd.org/manual/manual.html#nis-server-client-configuration-using-the-net-driver

Also, you can search the APCUPSD mail list / forum for help with NIS. Here is a link to the list http://sourceforge.net/p/apcupsd/mailman/search/?q=nis&mail_list=apcupsd-users

If the users manual or the archive does not help you I suggest posting your configuration to the APCUPSD mail list and I'm sure someone from the group can help with your issue. You should post the configuration of the host and of the client/s.
