I used to have a UPS in my server but no longer do, once a week I'm getting an alert that the server has lost communication with the UPS even though the UPS Daemon is set to No in the settings page.

 

On the same settings page it states that it's Running in the top right.

 

Any suggestions on how to fix this besides plugging a UPS back in?

Try toggling the UPS service enable/disable setting on the GUI, if that doesn't work edit config/plugins/dynamix.apcupsd/dynamix.apcupsd.cfg on you flash drive and change SERVICE="enable" to "disable", then reboot, UPS service should stay off.

 

I've toggled it in the GUI, the cfg file does say SERVICE="disable" however I didn't check it before I toggled.

 

Where does it store the UPS information because when the Daemon is enabled, it populated with the past info?

Sorry, don't know.

Try clearing your browser cache.

It's happened again this morning at 4:41am, is there a crontab that runs at that time?

 

The cfg file has the following

 

SERVICE="disable"
UPSCABLE="usb"
CUSTOMUPSCABLE=""
UPSTYPE="usb"
DEVICE=""
BATTERYLEVEL="10"
MINUTES="10"
TIMEOUT="0"
KILLUPS="no"

Did you ever get to the bottom of this? I have exactly the same issue, even down to the time of 4.41 a.m every Sunday!

No I didn't, I don't have a UPS connected to it any more. 

Never got a response to
