Looks promising

Sorry for the delay

I've been looking for a program which could read APCUPSD
It was a perfect RTFM moment when I noticed that APCUPSD can do that... :doh

This comes from the NAS:

The same is accessible through the local network too.

I'll do a shutdown test at weekend, and I think that'll conclude the thing

Very thanks for the support!

[fvdw]

Oke, if the shutdown command doesn't work properly I can supply a more sophisticated one in which also delay and warnings can be send

[RiveDC1]

... and shutdown at 50% was successful. Works like charm.

Thanks for the help :applause

One more question: how can I make the APCUPSD start automatically at every startup?

Hi

You can easily do it by using boot jobs feature.

So load the menu "Boot jobs", set-up the feature and enable it. This will create a folder 'cron- boot' in the share fvdw
Then create here a text file with this content :

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
[ -f "/etc/apcupsd.conf" ] && apcupsd

Reload Boot jobs menu, you should see now your file in the job lists table. Then check the line so that the script runs at the next booting and save the boot jobs table

[fvdw]

Be sure the text file is in unix format and not in dos format, so not containing <LF><CR> at the of a line but only <LF>.

If it contains carriage returns the script may not be executed correctly
