I can't find "apcdevice.c" it's probably a binary and I'm hopeless at
binary.
But 'ls /var/lock/subsys/apcupsd' exists.
Thanks david
david - i'll bet you have selinux turned on. set it to non-enforcing
mode. there's always been a problem with apcupsd and it's lock file
with selinux.
john
wait now. don't just disable selinux. that would be a workaround, not a
solution. besides, there are plenty of us running apcupsd with selinux
enabled with no lock problems. john summerfield wrote a good way of
trying to track the problem down in his previous post. kill apcupsd,
then delete the lock file from the /var/lock/subsys dir and start
apcupsd using the startup script ~#] service apcupsd start
then tell us what happens.
Ok,
I did as suggested by john summerfield, stopped apcups,delete the
lockfile,start apsups again,this error is the result of"apctest" --

I have SELinux disabled at the moment so I'll enable it and try again.
Thanks david
