NUT package (2.8.0 and below)
-
Apologies. There was a typo in the pidfile name left over from my testing (based on usbhid-ups rather than blazer_usb).
Updated version follows.

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 ""$pattern" found, NUT is running and OK" fiFor me even if I change upsname=$(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.

now it looks ok, will see in time how is doing.
thank you. -
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 blazerIf 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.incfunction 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"; $start .= "\n fi"; $start .= "\n /usr/bin/killall -q -9 upsmon"; $start .= "\n /usr/bin/killall -q -9 upsd"; $start .= "\n /usr/bin/killall -q -9 upsdrvctl"; if (isset($driver)) { $start .= "\n /usr/bin/killall -q -9 $driver"; } /* Service status keys off upsmon, so start it first. */ $start .= "\n /usr/local/sbin/upsmon"; if (isset($driver)) { $start .= "\n /usr/local/sbin/upsdrvctl start &"; $start .= "\n ("; $start .= "\n while true"; $start .= "\n do"; $start .= "\n sleep 15"; $start .= "\n kill -0 `cat /var/db/nut/blazer_usb-ActiveJet.pid` > /dev/null 2>&1 && continue"; $start .= "\n /usr/local/sbin/upsdrvctl start"; $start .= "\n done"; $start .= "\n ) &"; $start .= "\n echo $! > /var/db/nut/upsdrvctl_loop.pid"; /* Since we are starting the driver in backgroud, give it a moment to start. */ $start .= "\n sleep 1"; $start .= "\n /usr/local/sbin/upsd -u root"; } $start .= "\n return 0"; $stop .= "echo stopping NUT"; $stop .= "\n if [ -f /var/db/nut/upsdrvctl_loop.pid ]"; $stop .= "\n then"; $stop .= "\n kill -9 `cat /var/db/nut/upsdrvctl_loop.pid`"; $stop .= "\n rm /var/db/nut/upsdrvctl_loop.pid"; $stop .= "\n fi"; $stop .= "\n /usr/bin/killall -q upsmon"; if (isset($driver)) { $stop .= "\n /usr/bin/killall -q upsd"; $stop .= "\n /usr/bin/killall -q upsdrvctl"; $stop .= "\n /usr/bin/killall -q $driver"; } $stop .= "\n return 0"; write_rcfile(array( "file" => "nut.sh", "start" => $start, "stop" => $stop ) );Thank you very much for help to all that got involved to solve this/my problem !

Merry Christmas ! -
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…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

Thank you for the answer. I'm using the Version 2.7.4_3. Do i Need to save some Settings?
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.

Perfect, thank you!

Thanks for this nice package, works fine and look great!
Forgive me for being slightly OT, but is it normal for a UPS to stay at 100% Charging? It's my first UPS ever and running like this for 2 days now (EATON 3S 550). Shouldn't it stop charging when it's at 100%?
-
That's Eaton special.
-
That's Eaton special.
So this is normal with EATON and I don't have to get it exchanged?
-
Yes, it happens with any Eaton I tried. Whether or not it's charging, NFC. The package only reports what's reported by firmware.
-
Thanks, doc! :)

Hello,
sorry for my English :)
I think that I have the same problem than ecfx-xunil but I am a newbie.
PFsense version : 2.3.3 amd 64
NUT package version 2.7.4_4
I have an UPS FSP EP 2000
I use the nutdrv_qx driver. (without custom option)
it work fine but after a time, I have this message "Failed to retrieve status". I click on top to restart the service on the gui and i have again the value.
I have seen your message but I don't understand what to do to resolve the problem.
I need to chage the code?
Thank you for your help.

Have you checked the system log? In Status / System Logs / System / General, look for messages matching "ups" or "nut".

thank you for your help :)

In port #17, he change the pollinterval to 10/15. Maybe a solution?https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/2-issues-behaviours-with-attached-and-identified-ups.24033/
or use a script with cron …like he say: "I would be very happy to know that there's another/better solution."
