UPSSCHED.CONF !!!UPSSCHED.CONF NAME DESCRIPTION CONFIGURATION DIRECTIVES SEE ALSO ---- !!NAME upssched.conf - Configuration for upssched timer program !!DESCRIPTION This file controls the operations of upssched(8), the timer-based helper program for upsmon(8). !!CONFIGURATION DIRECTIVES CMDSCRIPT ''scriptname'' Required. This must be above any AT lines. This script is started to invoke commands when your timers are triggered. It receives a single argument which is the name of the timer that caused it to trigger. PIPEFN ''filename'' This sets the file name of the FIFO that will pass communications between processes to start and stop timers. This should be set to some path where normal users can't create the file, due to the possibility of symlinking and other evil. NOTE: if you are running Solaris or similar, the permissions that upssched sets on this file *are not enough* to keep you safe. If your OS ignores the permissions on a FIFO, then you MUST put this in a protected directory! Another thing to think about: upsmon doesn't run the NOTIFYCMD as root unless you run it with -p. So, upssched will probably run as nobody or similar unless you give upsmon another user with -u. Either way, you have to set PIPEFN to something that ONLY the resulting upsmon user can access. The stock version of this file ships with PIPEFN disabled to make you visit this portion of the documentation and think about how your system works before potentially opening a hole. AT ''notifytype upsname command'' Define a handler for a specific event ''notifytype'' on UPS ''upsname''. ''upsname'' can be the special value * to apply this handler to every UPS. This will perform the command ''command'' when the ''notifytype'' and ''upsname'' match the current activity. Possible values for ''command'' are: START-TIMER ''timername interval'' Start a timer of ''interval'' seconds. When it triggers, it will pass the argument ''timername'' as an argument to your CMDSCRIPT. Example: Start a timer that'll execute when any UPS (*) has been gone for 10 seconds AT COMMBAD * START-TIMER upsgone 10 CANCEL-TIMER ''timername'' Cancel a running timer called Example: If a specific UPS (myups@localhost) comes back online, then stop the timer before it triggers AT COMMOK myups@localhost CANCEL-TIMER upsgone Note that any AT that matches both the ''notifytype'' and the ''upsname'' for the current event will be used. !!SEE ALSO upssched(8), upsmon(8) __Internet resources:__ The NUT (Network UPS Tools) home page: http://www.exploits.org/nut/ NUT mailing list archives and information: http://lists.exploits.org/ ----
