Good day all,
I have a FC3 web and file server. This server runs apcupsd and provides
the network UPS communication interface. I looking through my root mail
this morning, i found that @ 4:43 this morning this server lost contact
with the UPS directly connected to it via the USB port. This setup was
always working and a similar configuration is still currently working on
another remote server.
I tried firstly restarting the service (apcupsd) the slave machines
which had shown signs of being connected to the ups before now indicated
that the communication was lost and successful restart of the service is
yet to be achieved. Checked the logs, did some googling, went to the
support page for apcupsd which pointed me to the instructions and
precautions i had to take when installing etc...
I tried unplugging and replugging the UPS even into different ports and got

I've considered restarting the system - but for fear of disruption would
wonder if there is an alternative or a way to restarted the USB
subsystem that keeps being mentioned in my google results?
Any thoughts, comments, suggestions are welcome...
Thank you
Trevor,
I have only just installed BackUps CS 650 so the install and test
is fresh in my mind,maybe some questions might help.
1/ What does apcaccess status say?
2/ What is in /var/log/apcupsd.events [or /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.events]
3/ Check the maual!
