[Slackbuilds-users] Possible issues with NUT ups software sample config files

[Sebastian Arcus]

It's possible that I am misreading this, but there might be some issues 
with the sample configs included with NUT

1. First one is minor - the samples rc.ups script includes the variable 
definition:

POWERDOWNFLAG=/etc/killpower

But then it doesn't seem to be used anywhere further down in the script, 
so I'm not sure why this is there.

2. The second is potentially more important. The included 
README.SLACKWARE suggests the following two changes to rc.6:

[QUOTE]
1) Insert after the rootfs has been remounted read-only:
	if [ -x /usr/libexec/nut/nut_restart_udev ]; then
		. /usr/libexec/nut/nut_restart_udev
	fi
2) Insert after the genpowerd block and before the actual halt:
	if [ -x /usr/libexec/nut/nut_kill_inverter ]; then
		. /usr/libexec/nut/nut_kill_inverter
	fi
[/QUOTE]

However, unless I'm misreading the above, it doesn't look like there is 
any check at any point for the existence of the /etc/killpower flag, to 
determine if this is a shutdown generated by NUT, or a normal shutdown. 
Does this mean that the above would tell the ups to kill power every 
time the system shuts down? I could be missing something, though?
