I installed apcupsd and clean powerdown packages, and have "Will be automatically Re-Installed upon Re-Boot" for both. I did a couple of reboots and they did reinstall. Then I pulled the plug on the UPS to test if it would shut down, and it did as it was suppose to. Then when I pluged the UPS back in and powered up the server again it did not reinstall apcupsd, but clean power down did. Any idea why this would be?

 

I can verify that this works with a Cyber Power CP1350PFCLD UPS.

no.    But what makes you think it is not re-instsalled?

 

What happens when you type:

which apcupsd

and

ls -l /boot/packages/*apcupsd*

Acording to the UnMenu Package Manager it was downloaded but not installed after repowered from a auto shutdown.

 

Also the Sys Info tab of UnMenu doesn't let me check the status of the UPS

Did you even bother to try to answer the two questions I specifically asked in my prior post? 

 

Either it is not installed through unMENU, or you probably have an issue in how you've edited your config/go script.

 

Assuming you installed it from unMENU, the last line in the config/go file (or one of the last lines) should look like this:

cd /boot/packages && find . -name '*.auto_install' -type f -print | sort | xargs -n1 sh -c

 

If you installed using a 5.X plugin, then you'll need to report the issue to the plugin author.

 

If you wish ANY more help from me, answer my questions... 

(it is not like I'm asking you for information that is that hard to get)

Sorry I didn't mean to poop in your corn flakes. 

 

But I am at work and don't have physical access to the server right now to try and force a shut down with the UPS to see if it happens again. I reinstalled it with UnMenu last night after if failed to do so automaticly.

 

I used UnMenu to install the package and have not made any changes to any config from what it did. I am on UnRaid 4.7

 

This is what the commands give me, but I was assuming that you wanted me to do it when UnMenu says that it isn't intalled, I can't do that from here.

There is an .auto_install file there AND the executable file /sbin/apcupsd exists.  Therefore, it was re-installed.

/boot/packages/apcupsd-3.14.3-i486-1kjz.tgz.auto_install

 

I'm guessing you re-installed yesterday, as the auto_install file has a date of: 2106 May 16 20:29

 

If you had simply said, I'll check it out when I get home, I would have understood.  Your initial response seemed to me as if you were just ignoring my request for info I could use to figure out what is wrong.

 

There is a third possibility... that apcupsd did start, but somehow aborted.  Since you did not supply a syslog, I could not check it for clues.

 

You to (unpaid) mechanic (over the phone):  Car don't work right.  What part do I need to replace?

Mechanic to You?  What make/model/symptoms?

You  "I think it is blue."  It is the same make as my brothers, except his is a different model.

 

;D  

 

I will do some better testing over the week end to see what I can come up with. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't a know issue before I spent alot of time trying to figure it out.

not a known issue at all.  I've been running apcupsd in all the 5.X versions in one of my servers, although I'll admit I've not gone through a power outage on each version.

It was very solid on unRAID 4.7 as well for me.

OK I figured out where I went wrong, or missed any way. I enabled it to reinstall on re-boot, then I made some changes to the configuration variables. I did not notice that every time you change the variables you have to reenable the auto reinstall.
