Normal Operation Messages

The messages in this section may appear during normal operation.

MESSAGE

ups_mond: UPS Monitor daemon starting; using configuration

file <filename>

SEVERITY

Information. Startup processing program message.

MEANING

UPS Monitor process creation and activation daemon has successfully begun
execution.

CAUSE

ups_mond

has launched the UPS Monitor process successfully, using the data

contained in the PowerTrust configuration file.

ACTION

None.

MESSAGE

ups_mond: UPS <tty special file name> OK: AC Power back on.

SEVERITY

Information. A previous critical, error, or warning condition related to AC
input power has been corrected.

MEANING

The PowerTrust device configured as <tty special file name> informed the UPS
Monitor that its input AC power has returned to normal following a power
failure. The PowerTrust unit is now supplying normal power, not battery
reserve power.
