ups_conf(4)ups_conf(4)NAMEups_conf - HP PowerTrust Uninterruptible Power System (UPS) monitor
configuration file
DESCRIPTION
The default configuration file for the HP PowerTrust UPS monitor daemon
Another file can be used as long as it complies with the specified for‐
mat, and the monitor daemon is configured to use the alternate file
(see the description of the option in ups_mond(1M)).
Lines in the configuration file can contain a maximum of 256 charac‐
ters, and the full pathname of a UPS-tty device file can contain a max‐
imum of 100 characters.
Only one entry per line is allowed in the configuration file. Each
line begins with a keyword. All fields in configuration file entries
are delimited by colons (:). Entries in the configuration file end
with the first space encountered (as specified by the library function,
see isspace(3C)). Characters beyond the first space on each line are
treated as comments.
The shutdown delay and timeout values should be the first lines in the
file.
Entries in this file begin with keywords that must appear exactly as
shown below. The terminating colon separates the keyword from the
value of its parameter. recognizes the following keywords:
The number of minutes
following notification by the first that its correspond‐
ing UPS is operating on internal (battery) power, before
initiates The default is one minute. This value should
be set to account for transient power interruptions, if
they are common to the site.
The number of minutes to monitor the
operation before initiating with the halt option see
reboot(2)). The default is five minutes. This value
should be longer than the longest time the system
requires to execute shutdown(1M). Note that after the
value of has elapsed, a UPS lacking AC line voltage will
power off. When AC line voltage is restored, the UPS
will restore power to its output. This timeout value
should not be so much longer than that an observer may
become impatient. It is important to note that this
value is the period for which the UPS will delay its
power-cycling, even if AC power is restored sooner.
This line is followed by either
or which indicates if the UPS needs to be turned OFF or
ON upon AC line voltage failures respectively. Default
is
The full pathname of the
device special file through which the UPS is configured.
Include one entry for each UPS. entries are handled in
the order they appear in Therefore, it is important to
list your uninterruptible power systems in order of pri‐
ority (for example, UPS protecting the SPU listed
first).
entries can contain following optional parameters, which
can appear in any order following the device special
file name:
This will not cause or to be initiated.
The type of uninterruptible power supply. Currently, this is the only
type defined and supports the entire HP UPS family,
including PowerTrust. It defaults to SOLA .
