I.6. Changes from 2.7.2 to 2.7.3
-
The nutdrv_qx(8) driver will eventually supersede bestups(8).
It has been tested on a U-series Patriot Pro II. Please test the new driver
on your hardware during your next maintenance window, and report any bugs.
-
If you are upgrading from a new install of 2.7.1 or 2.7.2, double-check the
value of POWERDOWNFLAG in $prefix/etc/upsmon.conf - it has been restored to
/etc/killpower as in 2.6.5 and earlier.
-
If you use upslog with a large sleep value, you may be interested in adding
killall -SIGUSR1 upslog to any OB/OL script actions. This will force
upslog to write a log entry to catch short power transients.
-
Be sure that your SSL keys are readable by the NUT system user. The SSL
subsystem is now initialized after
upsd forks, to work around issues in the
NSS library.
-
The systemd nut-server.service does not Require nut-driver to be started
successfully. This was previously preventing upsd startup, even for just
one driver failure among many. This also matches the behavior of sysV
initscripts.
