ups notification dm_ups

[Nick D'Angelo]

When there is any kind of power interruption, my server notifies me via email that the UPS AC power has been interrupted.

However, is there any way that I can configure the dm_ups to send me an email that the power has been restored?

UPS notifications do go to /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log if I'm not mistaken.

You can scan that file for keywords and send email notification on that basis.

I am attaching you a hardware script that looks for lbolts. Just replace lbolt with the keyword you need and change the email subject and addresse and you'll be all hooked up.

Thanks Steven, but I was looking for a more automated solution. If my memory serves me correctly, this is the way it was previously configured on another HPUX server, but we no longer have that machine.

Also, you missed attaching the script.

Thanks,

I run checkhardware with cron, thats about as automated as it gets.

Its not a big CPU user so you can run it pretty regularly.

I understand what you want though.

I would look at snmp. You can set up mibs to trigger email on that basis. toptools is a free tool from HP but it only runs on HP intel hardware.

SEP,

What is checkhardware, your own script?
