Configuring UPS to Cycle Power During Non-Work Hours
Once these lines are added to /etc/syslog.conf, syslogd must be set
to accept the changes. Execute kill -HUP `cat /etc/syslog.pid` and
restart ups_mond.
Step 3. Verify that HP-UX has been properly configured for the PowerTrust UPS
as follows:
• Check to make sure the UPS monitor daemon, ups_mond is running,
by executing ps -ef | grep ups. This process is started at bootup by
/etc/inittab and can be manually started by executing
/usr/lbin/ups_mond -f /etc/ups_conf.
• Make sure that the UPS messages are displayed on the console.
• Check for UPS messages in /usr/adm/syslog or the files to which
they are redirected.
Although the PowerTrust UPS is hardware, it displays in ioscan output
only as a terminal port. Its monitoring daemon, ups_mond, is a program
that reads and writes through that port.
