That's what I was thinking but when I saw it still listed on the
website I thought it would still be the right one. Maybe you are
right tho, the website is out of date or something. It does list
power panel too tho. I'll give it a try.
Thanks.

Well this doesn't make much sense to me. I did get nut to compile by
changing to the *experimental* driver powerpanel. It then wanted to
overwrite everything in my config file back to the defaults. Not that
it appears the style or settings change but just back to where nothing
is set at all. I got past that, mostly anyway. I got all the services
restarted, twice I might add. Now it tells me stuff that I know is not
even possible. Check out this mess:

OK. According to this mess, my 24 volt battery is charged to about 50
volts or so. I think I would see smoke by now. ;-) Then again, it
says the battery is low, 45% charge. Hmmmmm. < Dale scratches his head
on this one > The frequency of the line voltage is at 62.8 Hz, that's
odd. I also doubt the temp of the UPS is 143F either. I got a fan on
it and it usually runs at about 85 to 90 or so.
I think I'm going to go back to the old version of nut unless someone
has a better plan. This new version may compile and install but it
appears to need some more work on the coding end. I wish I could get
powstatd to work. I used it when I was using Mandrake and it was
wonderful. It was small, not to bad to configure and it just plain
worked. I could *easily* set it to shutdown when power had been gone
for more than 10 minutes too. Out here, if the lights are off more than
5 minutes or so, you may as well cut the puter off. It's going to be a
hour or two at least.
Thoughts?
