3. The parameter -cmd can be any shell script in the system, and it should be run as root in order to modify the settings.
4.  The default system settings for -pwrfail and -lowbatt are the same as Example 1 and 2 in chapter 1.1.1.

1.1.1 The Examples for Configuring pwrstat Options
Example 1: Configure the setting when a power failure event occurs.
pwrstat -pwrfail -delay 60 -active on -cmd /etc/pwrstatd-powerfail.sh -duration 1
-shutdown on In the setting above, it will take 1 second to run a shell script named pwrstatd-powerfail.sh in the directory /etc, and the system will be shut down after a power  failure event occurs for 60 seconds.

Example 2: Configure the setting when the low battery event occurs.
pwrstat -lowbatt -runtime 300 –capacity 35 -active on -cmd /etc/pwrstatd- lowbatt.sh
-duration 1 -shutdown on In the setting above, it will take 1 second to run a shell script named pwrstatd-lowbatt.sh in the directory /etc, and the system will be shut down  when either the remaining runtime is less than 300 seconds, or the battery capacity is lower than 35%.

Example 3a: Configure the connection to PowerPanel Cloud.
pwrstat -cloud -active on -account example@cyberpower.com -password pass123

• Assuming PowerPanel Cloud account / password: example@cyberpower.com /pass123.
  In the setting above, the connection to PowerPanel Cloud will be activated when users correctly enter PowerPanel Cloud account and password.

Example 3b: Verify the connection to PowerPanel Cloud.
pwrstat -verify
To verify whether the account and password are correct, enter the command above.

There are three results, described below:

1. When both the account and password are correct, the system will show Verify successfully.
2. When either the account or password is incorrect, the system will show Verify failed.
3. When a network issue exists, the system will show Connect failed.

1.2 The Daemon Page
Name
pwrstatd The UPS power state daemon.
Description
pwrstatd is the daemon of PowerPanel for Linux which runs immediately when the system starts up and communicates with the UPS. Type the following command to list the operations and the configuration files of daemon: man pwrstatd

Operations of the Daemon
The commands for operating the pwrstatd daemon and their functions are described below:
/etc/init.d/pwrstatd start start pwrstatd daemon
/etc/init.d/pwrstatd stop stop pwrstatd daemon
/etc/init.d/pwrstatd restart restart pwrstatd daemon
/etc/init.d/pwrstatd status show the running status of pwrstatd daemon

Configuration Files of the Daemon
The configuration files and their functions are described below:/etc/pwrstatd.conf
The configuration file of pwrstatd, including the options for shutting down or hibernating UPS when the power event occurs.
/etc/pwrstatd-lowbatt.sh
The default shell command is sending the e-mail notification. When the low battery event occurs, the notification e-mail will be sent if it is enabled and both the recipient and  the sender e-mail addresses are correctly entered. Users can also add user-defined commands.
/etc/pwrstatd-powerfail.sh The default shell command is sending the e-mail notification. When the power failure event occurs, the notification e-mail will be sent if it is  enabled and both the recipient and the sender e-mail addresses are correctly entered. Users can also add user-defined commands.
/etc/pwrstatd-email.sh
The default shell command of e-mail content. When either the low battery or power failure event occurs, it will be sent to users.

Note 5
pwrstatd.conf can be edited by using any text editor. To start editing the configuration file, type the following command as root:

vi/etc/pwrstatd.conf

• Take the text editor, vi, for example.
  The changes edited in the text editor will take effect after restarting pwrstatd. To restart the daemon, type the following command:
  /etc/init.d/pwrstatd restart

Note 6
To send the e-mail content in /etc/pwrstatd-email.sh, it is necessary to set ENABLE_EMAIL=yes and enter both the RECEIPT_ADDRESS and the SENDER_ADDRESS correctly in /etc/pwrstatd-lowbatt.sh or /etc/pwrstatd-powerfail.sh. For details about installing e-mail package in Ubuntu, please refer to troubleshooting 6.
Event Logs of the Daemon
The event logs of the pwrstatd daemon are located in the directory:/var/log The file named pwrstatd.log records all the power events.

Note 7
Some of the listed items above will only be displayed when the UPS model supports the related functions.

Troubleshooting

1. How does the UPS communicate with PowerPanel for Linux?
   a. PowerPanel for Linux communicates with the UPS via USB port or Serial port.
   b. The UPS uses the USB HID/Power Class architecture; The UPS has DB-9 connector for RS-232 or Dry-Contact communication.

2. Why is the UPS unable to establish communication with PowerPanel for Linux?
   a. Ensure the UPS model is supported by PowerPanel for Linux.
   b. Ensure a USB or Serial cable is connected to the UPS and computer. Directly connecting the UPS to a computer without a USB Hub is also helpful.
   c. Try to unplug the USB cable from the UPS and plugging it back in again.
   d. Ensure HID device can be found in the directory /dev/hiddev, /dev/usb/hiddev, and /dev/usb/hid/hiddev, such as hiddev0 if the USB cable is being used. Ensure  HID device can be found in the directory /dev, such as ttyS0 if the serial cable is being used.

3. Why PowerPanel for Linux cannot be installed or uninstalled?
   a. Run the installation or uninstallation with sudo/root.
   b. The Linux system may not be compatible with PowerPanel for Linux. Please refer to the file doc/deploy-guide for more information.

4. Why does pwrstat not work?
   a. Ensure pwrstatd is working.
   b. Ensure the option prohibit-client-access is set as no in the pwrstatd configuration file.

5. Why can’t the pwrstatd daemon detect a UPS with a H2C USB adapter?
   a. Ensure the Linux system has the libusb library. It can be found in the directory /usr/lib.
   b. Ensure the soname of libusb is libusb-0.1.so.4.
   c. If the soname version of libusb is prior to libusb-0.1.so.4, please go to the website, rpmfind or sourceforge, to download the libusb rpm package and install it. The  URLs of the mentioned websites are:
   rpmfind: http://rpmfind.net
   sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net
   6. How to install e-mail package?
   Take Ubuntu for example.
   a. Type the following commands: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install mailutails
   b. Choose Internet Site as the type of mail configuration.

c. Users may refer to Note 6 in chapter 1.2 for details.
