ups not able to communicate with ups software
system - debian jessie
i am using winpower s/w for my ups. an previous version of the same is working well both on ubuntu and windows. a new version i downloaded today and installed on my debian system. and the ups is not detected by the winpower s/w. i installed the same as root as per the install manual. The ups uses a rs232 serial port. When the previous version i installed on ubuntu, i followed the same procedure and it works fine. Same only is the procedure even now. How should i now proceed for the same. |
Are you getting a specific error message?
Could the older version still be running in the background, locking the serial port? (Uninstalling a program and deleting an executable does not kill a running process.) |
see first i make some things clear to avoid confusion.
1.this is the first time install on this debian system of a ups s/w.This is a 64 bit ver. 2.The old version of this s/w i had installed on ubuntu and it worked fine there and is still working on my ubuntu. it was 32bit ver. 3.On ubuntu i installed and the s/w upon startup loads the agent and all we have to do later is to open the manager program, in case should we have to change any settings. Else after install it is a forget chapter issue. Everything is fine by itself. 4.On debian also it is supposed to be the same.Unfortunately it is not working that way as of now. Which is what i am investigating. 5.Now next is how this s/w works. it first loads the agent s/w upon startup as i mentioned above and everything is fine.Once after reaching the desktop,Should you need to do any changes all you have do is to click the manager / monitor program and the ups manager gets loaded, where you can do whatever you want. else there is no need for any fiddling once the s/w is installed. If power goes, it automatically warns. 6.On debian as of now with the new version which i installed for the first time, i am finding, the ups agent services and monitoring services are not getting started on startup. Hence the ups is also not getting detected. 7.I reproduce below a portion from the faq. Should in case this may be of any help. Quote:
So the s/w does it automatically. I saw the same even in that ubuntu system of mine, where everything is started automatically. 9. lastly when i did this now after all these typing, i opened thunar as root and cd to the ups s/w folder. and then opened the same in terminal. and then try to start the services manually. ./agent start the agent gets started and thereafter ./monitor and the s/w manager also gets started. The s/w is monitoring the ups. upon a poweroff it also gives me warning LINE-INT in /dev/ttyS0 input power failed & LINE-INT in /dev/ttyS0 input power restored. 10. So how do i now get about this to make the things load on startup and dont need to have to do this whole procedure manually. For by default the s/w is supposed to start the service on startup. |
