upsd will not start on SCO 5.0.6

This was originally posted on APC forums on 4/4/2013



I have a SCO 5.0.6 server and the powerchute daemon , upsd, will not start. Is there any way to start the daemon and get a log of what is happening. I can't find any messages to point me to why it will not start.

Bill,

Thanks for the reply:

1 - Is the com port configured properly?

As far as I know. This has worked properly but on or about October 30th

it started to core dump. The onsite admin never looked at the system. I

just found out since I was on a project.

2 - Have you uninstalled and reinstalled?

No but that was my next step.

3 - Have you tried to rebuild the com port? If the com port is

corrupted PC+ can crash.

Haven't done that as the com ports get installed during initial

installation.

4 - Have you checked the system log to see if it is recording the

crash?

I did but could not find anything. I am still investigating.

I have 17 of these servers spread out over 5 counties. This one had the

motherboard changed a few years back but it is an INtel board. It most

likely is a corrupt file. The powerchute software starts but the server

daemon is doing the crashing. Also the only way I get it to start (but

it will crash immediately) is to reboot the server. Any attempt after

that does not produce a core dump but the server will not start.

I will do a reinstall and get back to you.

can you verify what version of powerchute this is? is it the older powerchute plus? i ask because i didn't think we supported SCO (unix?) on any of the newer software. just curious so we know what we're working with.

Angela,

Yes this is the older powerchute software and it is the character based

one. I have 22 servers (SCO 5.0.6) and it runs fine on all but this one.

As a matter of facte it stopped working a while ago but I just found out

that it crashes at boot time. I get a core dump when it tries to start

at boot time. If I try to start it after the system is up nothing

happens.

Hmm I don't know much about the older PowerChute Plus on Unix. I only know it pretty well on Windows.

Last time I had a question on this I was lost as not many people do know about PowerChute Plus these days but Bill P. - do you have any ideas or know of anything we could try in order to figure out what's going on here?

Who is this Bill P? Do I contact him? I am wondering if it could be the

motherboard?

John,

It sounds like there is either a conflict with another app that is running or corrupt file/s. A few things you can check are.

1 - Is the com port configured properly?

2 - Have you uninstalled and reinstalled?

3 - Have you tried to rebuild the com port? If the com port is corrupted PC+ can crash.

4 - Have you checked the system log to see if it is recording the crash?
