start script when power fails

Hr. RJH Verhagen — Mon, 23 Dec 2002 16:09:58 GMT

Hello,
I have a hp-ux (10.20) server which is attached to a UPS (tty0p1). I have configured ups_mond to begin the shutdown procedure after 3 minutes. The first thing the server should do is bring down some clients. The clients have to go down when the server will go down by the ups but not by a normal reboot. I tried to make a script which searches the though syslog file if the system shuts down by the power fail but I don???t always see the same message. Is there a different approach to run a script when the ups demon brings down the system?

Thanks,
Robert Verhagen.

#ups::respawn:rtprio 0 /usr/lbin/ups_mond -f /etc/ups_conf

in file /etc/inittab should handle it.

Caveat. I copied this from a 11.00 system.

Good Luck.

Steve
