      Instead restarting NUT in sheduled fashion, just use script below to check if upsc fails to connect ups and then restart everything you want.
      When UPS driver connection is lost, run
      upsc -l
      It gives you your configured UPS name, run
      upsc "upsname" 
      without quotes

      remember the output, you will need it below in pattern variable. Just put it in quotes like it is.
      for example if upsc myhomeups gives you output
      connection unavailable
      then change script line to

      pattern="connection unavailable"

      #!/bin/sh
      # Script to restart NUT and USB UPS if UPS connection failed
      upsname=$(upsc -l)
      pattern="failed UPS message from upsc"
      check=$(upsc $upsname | grep -o "$pattern")
      if [ "$check" = "$pattern" ] ;
      then
      /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nut.sh stop
      usbconfig -d 5.1 set_config 255
      sleep 30
      usbconfig -d 5.1 set_config 0
      sleep 30
      /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nut.sh start
      fi
      

      You can use cron to schedule script for every 3 minutes for example, or even less if you tune down your sleep timers.

        This is what I did:

        because this is normal output if communication with UPS is working OK:

        upsc ActiveJet

        battery.charge: 100
        battery.charge.low: 50
        battery.runtime: 714
        battery.runtime.low: 600
        battery.voltage: 13.70
        battery.voltage.high: 13.7
        battery.voltage.low: 12
        device.type: ups
        driver.flag.norating: enabled
        driver.flag.novendor: enabled
        driver.name: blazer_usb
        driver.parameter.pollinterval: 10
        driver.parameter.port: auto
        driver.parameter.protocol: mustek
        driver.parameter.runtimecal: 180,100,320,50
        driver.parameter.synchronous: no
        driver.version: 2.7.4
        driver.version.internal: 0.12
        input.frequency: 50.0
        input.voltage: 241.2
        input.voltage.fault: 241.2
        output.voltage: 241.2
        ups.beeper.status: enabled
        ups.delay.shutdown: 30
        ups.delay.start: 180
        ups.load: 19
        ups.productid: 5161
        ups.status: OL
        ups.type: offline / line interactive
        ups.vendorid: 0665
        

        I changed your script to this one:

        #!/bin/sh

        Script to restart NUT and USB UPS if UPS connection failed on ActiveJet

        upsname="ActiveJet"
        pattern="battery.charge:"
        check=$(upsc $upsname | grep -o "$pattern")
        if [ "$check" != "$pattern" ]; then
        /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nut.sh stop

        usbconfig -d 5.1 set_config 255

        sleep 10

        usbconfig -d 5.1 set_config 0

        sleep 5
        /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nut.sh start
        fi

        and I added to cron to run it every 3 min.

        If you have a better suggestion please share.

        Thank you again !

        edit:
        changed the script and cron from 2 to 3 and now to 4 min because something is not ok and it restart to often.

          strange …  If I did not made a mistake I think the script interfere with normal NUT because it will restart almost every time.
          Maybe we can look in syslog for last NUT error messages and not try to interrogate NUT ??

            Remove any other scripts you have put in place and replace /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nut.sh with the script below. I would not add any USB configuration commands unless you encounter a situation in which the script does not restart the driver. If you do encounter such a situation, please run "usbconfig dump_device_desc" while the problem is happening and post the result.

            Note that the nut.sh script is automatically written every time the NUT configuration is saved This will happen anytime you change the UPS config or upgrade pfSense. When this happens, just copy this script back in place.

            I would keep the setting of "pollinterval = 10" in the ups.conf advanced section as this will significantly reduce the number of occurrences of driver failure. No other advanced settings are needed.

            #!/bin/sh
            # This file has been modified for special upsdrvctl restart
            
            rc_start() {

            	then
            		kill -9 `cat /var/db/nut/upsdrvctl_loop.pid`

              Regarding the other settings you were doing:

              
              default.battery.voltage.high = 13.7
              default.battery.voltage.low = 11.5
              runtimecal = 180,100,360,50
              ignorelb
              override.battery.charge.low = 50
              override.battery.runtime.low = 600
              
              

              These are actually arguments to the UPS driver rather than global directives. As such, they should be in the (non-advanced) section entitled "Extra Arguments to driver" rather than in the advanced section.

              You should have nothing in the advanced section other than the pollinterval setting in ups.conf.

              Hope this works out for you.

                  That looks like kill is missing the -0.

                  Just to confirm the script is correct, could you run a sum on it please?

                  sum /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nut.sh

                  The result should be 60215.

                    yes it is correct. ( I copied also to nut.sh.new in case it is recreated )

                      Apologies. There was a typo in the pidfile name left over from my testing (based on usbhid-ups rather than blazer_usb).

                        strange …  If I did not made a mistake I think the script interfere with normal NUT because it will restart almost every time.

                        #!/bin/sh
                        # Script to restart NUT and USB UPS if UPS connection failed
                        upsname=$(upsc -l)
                        pattern="battery.charge:"
                        check=$(upsc $upsname | grep -o "$pattern")
                        if [ "$check" != "$pattern" ]; then
                        echo "("$check" != "$pattern"), NUT must be restarted"
                        else
                        echo ""$pattern" found, NUT is running and OK"
                        fi
                        
                        

                        For me even if I change upsname=$(upsc -l) directly to ups name it works just fine and NEVER gives me message "NUT must be restarted". If your UPS does not answer to every query, then it is the root cause of the script behavior. You should manually test script, running this several times, looking for the answer.

                            Did you stop the service before putting the new script in place? If not, the old script may still be running.

                            The command to stop the script is:

                            /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nut.sh stop

                            After doing so, the following commands should find no processes:
                              ps -axuw | grep ups
                              ps -axuw | grep nut
                              ps -axuw | grep blazer

                            If that isn't the issue, please run the debug version below by hand. The command to do this is:

                            /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nut.sh start

                            Make sure the service is stopped before you start the debug script. Also understand that it will continue to product output even after the command prompt returns. To stop it, you again would execute:

                            /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nut.sh stop

                            Please let it run for a minute or two and post the output from the terminal. I'll have a look at it in the morning.

                              dennypage just to let you know that your script is working great until now, and I made your changes in nut.inc so it will survive a reboot or UPS parameter changes till package upgrade/reinstall.

                              In case anybody else will need it; just make the appropriate changes for you in the line with "blazer_usb-ActiveJet.pid";
                              you can find your "driver_usb-upsname.pid" in /var/db/nut/ when NUT is running…

                              credit go to dennypage !

                              part with changes I made in:
                              /usr/local/pkg/nut/nut.inc

                              function nut_write_rcfile($driver) {
                              	nut_check_var_db();
                              	$start .= "echo starting NUT";
                              	$start .= "\n	if [ -f /var/run/upsdrvctl_loop.pid ]";
                              	$start .= "\n	then";
                              	$start .= "\n		kill -9 `cat /var/db/nut/upsdrvctl_loop.pid`";
                              	$start .= "\n		rm /var/run/upsdrvctl_loop.pid";

                                I forgot about the ups name in the pid file. It had to be something stupid.

                                On the system I was testing on the ups is named "ups" and the driver name is "usbhid-ups". This results in a pid file named "usbhid-ups-ups.pid". I think I'll change the name of the ups to prevent this sort of mistake in the future. :)

                                  Yesterday i saw in my pfsense, that there is an update for the nut package (2.7.4_3). Is it save to hit the update button, or will the custom Settings be lost after the update?

                                  Best Regards

                                    What version of the nut package are you currently running? If you are already running 2.7.4, then there should no issue with the update. If you are running a version prior to 2.7.4, then the settings will be converted from the old package to the new package, and may require attention. See the beginning of this thread for more information. If you are still unsure, post some information about your settings.

                                    The current version is 2.7.4_4

                                      Thank you for the answer. I'm using the Version 2.7.4_3. Do i Need to save some Settings? I have set custom Parameters on the following fileds:

                                      • Extra Arguments to Driver (optional
                                      • Additional configuration lines for upsd.conf
                                      • Additional configuration lines for upsd.users

                                      Best Regards

                                        In moving from 2.7.4_3 to 2.7.4_4 there is nothing special you need to do. The settings will all be maintained.
