In our enviroment we have serval gentoo machines connected to a APC SMART-UPS RT 10000. we use apcupsd (using snmp/ethernet driver) via tcp/ip to connect to the web management card. When a machine looses the network connection, apcupsd is not able to reinitate communication correctly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start apcupsd (output of "apcaccess" is fine) 2. plug out network cable / plug in network cable 3. run "apcaccess". program hangs. apcupsd utilizes cpu by aprox 20% on our PE2650. Actual Results: - apcupsd incr. cpu usage. - apcaccess output hangs. - controlled shutdown will not work (not tested, but as the communcation does not work this will be the expected result) Expected Results: after a lost network connection, apcupsd should try to reconnect or fail a errormessage. output of "ps axfu" when apcupsd "hangs". =8<== root 22863 30.1 0.1 5620 1520 ?

when i disconnect the network cable from the usv dmesg shows: process `apcupsd' is using obsolete setsockopt SO_BSDCOMPAT and apcupsd exits. it does then not get restarted when network access comes back (of course, how should it). i'm not sure if this is a gentoo specific problem or an upstream bug or upstream feature. i can't reproduce 3. run "apcaccess". program hangs. apcupsd utilizes cpu by aprox 20% on our PE2650. for me apcupsd just exits when it looses the connection and thats it. apcaccess won't show anything after apcupsd exited ;)
There is nothing i can do about this bug as hte behaviour you are experiencing is handled by apcupsd itself. This is not related to the ebuild. Try to report this bug upstream.
