upscnfig.pub.sys
powerfail_message_routing = all_terminals
• to send the recovery messages ONLY to the system console:
upscnfig.pub.sys
powerfail_message_routing = console_only
IF NO UPSCNFIG.PUB.SYS FILE EXISTS
UPSCNFIG.PUB.SYS is the default UPS Monitor configuration file, to be used unless/until
youuseUPSUTIL'snewconfigcommandtochooseadifferentconfigurationfile.
The UPS Monitor's final default, in case there is no UPSCNFIG.PUB.SYS default
configuration file on the system, is to assume case (a) above: The powerfail messages
routing option will be assumed to be "to all terminals", the same as it has been in the past.
OBSERVING RESULTS OF NEWCONFIG COMMAND
After you have used the newconfig command to activate a new UPS Monitor configuration
file through UPSUTIL, then use the status command of UPSUTIL to see the results of the
new configuration file activation. (Refer to the status command elsewhere in this
document.)
UPSUTIL's "newconfig" command causes your chosen configuration file to be "sent to" the
UPS Monitor software; but UPSUTIL itself does not do error checking on the configuration
file. (The UPS Monitor module does perform error checking on the file. Any problems with
the configuration file will be reported to the system operator via console messages issued
by the UPS Monitor. These error messages will also be recorded in the system diagnostic
log file.)
The UPSUTIL "status" command obtains a status report from the UPS Monitor module,
which will show you whether the UPS Monitor detected any errors in your new
configuration file, and what the current settings of the configurable options are after your
newconfig command has executed.
Example #1 - Using UPSCNFIG.PUB.SYS
The first example shows a "newconfig" command being used to set the configuration using
the default UPSCNFIG.PUB.SYS configuration file. A status command following the
newconfig command reports the results of using UPSCNFIG.PUB.SYS.
UPSUTIL: Command > newconfig
Begin SET NEW CONFIG FILE UPS Monitor operation
Enter the file name of the new configuration file (file.group.account)
New config file name? upscnfig.pub.sys
SET NEW CONFIG FILE UPS Monitor operation successfully initiated.
End SET NEW CONFIG FILE UPS Monitor operation
UPSUTIL: Command > status
