[Nut-upsuser] UPS not shutting down, no syslogs; no wall messages plus other problems

[Greg Troxel]

The secondary shut down due to lack of comms from primary.

The primary appears to have noticed it should shutdown but something is
not right.

Generally the system up/down scripts need to notice that the killpower
flag file has been set.  That requires a lot of things, including that
the filesystem it is written to have the right permissions and that it
still be mounted.

You should be able to test by first getting a shell as user nut, and
then "touch /var/run/nut/killpower".  If that doesn't work, figure out
why and fix that before continuing.  Then run the shutdown command
manually.


Power down everything but the primary that uses the UPS before you do
this, or you'll have an unclear shutdown when you succeed.


I don't have any more specific advice ([qmy own practice is "don't use
systemd").
