Good afternoon:
Just installed apcupsd daemon from ports for APC Smart-UPS and have
everything else (I think) running online fine, EXCEPT the
"/usr/local/etc/rc.d/apcupsd.sh" boot startup script. The script dies at
the beginning because it "Cannot determine the PREFIX" ...figured path is
wrong and is for Linux structure.
I'm not a scripter but have tried & tried to modify the top line to
properly define the PREFIX, but no luck. Help would be REALLY be
appreciated on how to modify "PREFIX=" properly. Here's the top portion of
the script with the other lines calling for the PREFIX:
</snip>
!/bin/sh
# $FreeBSD: ports/sysutils/apcupsd/files/apcupsd.sh.sample
# startup scripts for APCUPSD.
if ! PREFIX=$(expr $0 : "\(/.*\)/etc/rc\.d/$(basename $0)\$"); then
echo "$0: Cannot determine the PREFIX" >&2
exit 1
fi
# If there is a global system configuration file, suck it in.
if [ -r /etc/defaults/rc.conf ]; then
. /etc/defaults/rc.conf
source_rc_confs
elif [ -r /etc/rc.conf ]; then
. /etc/rc.conf
fi
apcupsd_enable=${apcupsd_enable:-YES}
apcupsd_program=${apcupsd_program:-${PREFIX}/sbin/apcupsd}
</snip>
The last line should be able to find the daemon at:
/usr/local/sbin/apcupsd
Gotta have this so the daemon takes back control on reboot. Thanks in
advance for any help!!!
