June 2, 20188 yr Every few years i have to replace the battery on my UPS, and once that is done, i have to run the APCTEST tool to renew the date of the battery, otherwise the UPS won't charge it. This works fine under V5, but onder V6 the tool crashes, see log. Why is this, or is there another way to use the APCTEST tool? http://www.apcupsd.org/manual/manual.html#apctest Checking configuration ... sharenet.type = Network & ShareUPS Disabled cable.type = USB Cable mode.type = USB UPS Driver apctest FATAL ERROR in apctest.c at line 313 Unable to create UPS lock file. If apcupsd or apctest is already running, please stop it and run this program again. apctest error termination completed Edited June 2, 20188 yr by jowi
June 2, 20188 yr Author Nevermind, found it... i first have to stop the apcupsd from unrraid's settings... duh. I knew this, but forgot. The error even hints on it
June 2, 20188 yr Author Thanks, i even replied in that topic i've been running v6 for a few weeks now, i wanted to check if the apctest tool was there and was working, but i forgot that you should stop the apc plugin first
June 3, 20188 yr Ah yes - the battery change date discussion. Thanks for reminding me. Glad you got it sorted, anyway.
