  • Logrotate causes apcupsd to be restarted even if disabled in config.

    I had been playing with apcups and NUT to get my UPS reporting and I needed to use NUT. So I have disabled APCUPSD in the config as not needed.

     

    I am guessing that as there are log files these are being rotated weekly because one exists which restarts apcupsd and creates a new log so will continue like this until I reboot and logs purged from /var/log

     

    /var/log/apcupsd.events {
      rotate 4
      weekly
      notifempty
      missingok
      postrotate
        /etc/rc.d/rc.apcupsd restart 1>/dev/null || true
      endscript
    }

     

    But the restart is not checking the current status of the config. This may just be because I have log files. I have deleted them and will see if it re-occurs next week.

    Just experienced the same issue. Initially tried apcupsd - had some problems, already had NUT working on pre-unraid setup (migrated from synology), so turned off apcupsd and changed unraid to use NUT. But despite being disabled, apcupsd is restarting every day at 4.40am as part of 'logrotate'. On unraid 6.10.3.

    I get this in my syslog every week. 

    Jul 24 04:40:01 NAS apcupsd[118732]: apcupsd exiting, signal 15
Jul 24 04:40:01 NAS apcupsd[118732]: apcupsd shutdown succeeded
Jul 24 04:40:03 NAS apcupsd[71875]: apcupsd 3.14.14 (31 May 2016) slackware startup succeeded
Jul 24 04:40:03 NAS apcupsd[71875]: NIS server startup succeeded

     

    Looking at /var/log, I see that apcupsd.events rolled over at 4:40 am at the same time.
