Default How to use sensorsd to monitor a UPS.

I have a battery backup (UPS) for my OpenBSD-6.4 server. $ sysctl -a | grep hw.sensors.upd
Code:
hw.sensors.upd0.indicator0=On (BatteryPresent), OK
hw.sensors.upd0.indicator1=Off (Charging), OK
hw.sensors.upd0.indicator2=Off (Discharging), OK
hw.sensors.upd0.indicator3=Off (NeedReplacement), OK
hw.sensors.upd0.indicator4=Off (ShutdownImminent), OK
hw.sensors.upd0.indicator5=On (ACPresent), OK
hw.sensors.upd0.indicator6=Off (Overload), OK
hw.sensors.upd0.percent0=100.00% (RemainingCapacity), OK
hw.sensors.upd0.percent1=100.00% (FullChargeCapacity), OK
hw.sensors.upd0.timedelta0=2613.000000 secs (RunTimeToEmpty), OK
sensorsd(8) looks like it might be a lean alternative to sysutils/apcupsd but I don't really understand the sensorsd.conf(5) man page well enough to configure the thing. The first experiment didn't go well.
/etc/sensorsd.conf
Code:
hw.sensors.upd0.percent0:low=60%:command=/root/bin/poweroff
/root/bin/poweroff
Code:
#!/bin/sh
ssh hanzer@minerva sudo halt -p
halt -p
minerva is small, low-power FreeBSD machine that is also currently connected to the battery.

This setup results in both machines powering down almost immediately after sensorsd starts.

Any ideas on how to proceed or any experiments that might shed some light on how this thing works?

A wild guess here is that your percentage character is the key problem. But when testing, better to use a test script rather than actual power off.


systat(1) can show sensor output, and may help you configure sensorsd(8)

Read the caveat in the manpage.

Do a check in your script that you're in the state you want to act on.
