NUT running two instances!

Add-Ons

Hi all

I’m hoping some one might be able to help me with this.
When checking the status of my UPS via the command line I get an error of “A previous upsmon instance is already running!
Either stop the previous instance first, or use the ‘reload’ command.”.

After trying to dig a bit further it looks as though for some reson the service is running twice… I think.

[root@stratus ~]# ps aux | grep upsmon
root      4517  0.0  0.0   9816  2540 ?        Ss   16:25   0:00 /usr/sbin/upsmon
root      4518  0.0  0.0  10344  6528 ?        S    16:25   0:00 /usr/sbin/upsmon
root      4699  0.0  0.0   6656  2476 pts/0    S+   16:26   0:00 grep upsmon

So far I have tried stopping the service and removing the pid file in /var/run/upsmon.pid of which there is only one file relating to upsmon. Restarting the service just gives the same error. I have also done this again then removed nut via pakfire and rebooted. Re-installed and got the same issue.

Any idea’s on how I can fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

try removing the Port 3493 for localhost from upsd.conf

this is the default Port and seems not neccesary following this site

after stopping the Service via GUI did you killed all upsmon instances via CLI? before restarting?

thank you for your reply.
I’m not sure there ever was an issue any more as all has been working.
My problem I think was that I was using the wrong command to check the UPS from the command line.
