pfSense » pfSense Packages

I'm running pfSense 2.4.5-p1 and apcupsd 0.3.91_8

Attempts to stop apcupsd fail.

To reproduce:

1. visit /pkg_edit.php?xml=apcupsd.xml
2. uncheck Enable APC UPS Daemon service.
3. click on Save

Before doing the above, I saw:

[2.4.5-RELEASE][admin@bast.int.unixathome.org]/root: ps auwwx | grep apc
root   70491   0.0  0.2  13008  3844  -  Ss   16:01       0:00.14 /usr/local/sbin/apcupsd

After hitting save, I run the above command repeatedly and see:

[2.4.5-RELEASE][admin@bast.int.unixathome.org]/root: ps auwwx | grep apc
root   11520   1.8  0.1   6976  2724  -  S    16:02       0:00.01 /bin/sh /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apcupsd.sh stop

Looking at the webui, 'Enable APC UPS Daemon service.' is now unchecked, despite apcupsd is running.

If I click save again, the above observed behavior repeats.

If I check, 'Enable APC UPS Daemon service.' and click on Save, the above observed behavior repeats.
