ups_mond and ups_conf help

[Andy Stout]

I think I've asked this before... but is there any way to run a script before a UPS unit shuts the system down? It's a Jamaica enclosure. I did a cat on the /etc/ups_conf file and I get:

shutdown_delay_mins:10
shutdown_timeout_mins:10
upstty:/dev/tty1p0:SOLA

What I need to do is run a script I wrote called DBALLDOWN that brings all of our databases down "gracefully"....

The UPS monitor will call the first executable it finds called shutdown in its PATH. In theory you could write a script called shutdown, that wraps the "real" one, but calls your script DBALLDOWN first?

[Denver Osborn]

ups_mond will initiate a "shutdown -h", so shutting down the db instances could be part of your normal shutdown scripts in /sbin/init.d. However if the shutdown hangs before the db is brought down, it will wait 10 mins (per your config) before issuing a reboot w/ halt to bring the box down.

Take a look at this thread which addresses this issue and has a sample shutdown script:
