[Nut-upsuser] infosec e4

[James HORLEY]

I'm pretty sure, I've install pkg-config, but I will check it monday after 
my holliday.

This is my test steps:
- Shutting down nut-client (upsmon)
- Only nut-server (driver + upsd) is running
- upsmon.conf have been revert to normal shutdown, no upssched
- upsc myups return ups stats

then: upsmon -K -DDDDD, here is the output:
        kill: No such process
        UPS: myups at localhost (master) (power value 1)
        Using power down flag file /etc/killpower
        Power down flag is not set

Best regards,

If these are the same parameters as are used to build the .deb, then that 
should owrk.

Do you have pkg-config installed?

For initial shutdown testing, I would recommend using a dummy load (such as 
a lamp) and plug the server into another UPS or directly to line power.

Then, you can remove power from the UPS and run "upsmon -K" from the command 
line (without redirection) to see why it is failing.

I don't recommend configuring upssched until basic shutdowns work.

This is not guaranteed to work, but when the version numbers are close 
enough (2.6.4, 2.6.5, 2.7.1/master), it usually does work. The network 
protocol is more stable than the upsd/driver interface.
