Hello all, I think I've just about got nut going except for one incredibly irritating detail. ups.conf needs to say what serial port my UPS is on.
I made a few guesses, all of which were apparently wrong. I'm getting lots of this kind of thing in /var/log/daemon: Feb 13 02:00:01 lupin newsyslog[22881]: logfile turned over Feb 13 02:00:04 lupin upsmon[31538]: Poll UPS [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed - [1500AVR] does not exist on server localhost Feb 13 02:00:09 lupin upsmon[31538]: Poll UPS [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed - [1500AVR] does not exist on server localhost Feb 13 02:00:09 lupin upsmon[31538]: UPS [EMAIL PROTECTED] is unavailable Broadcast Message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] ((not a tty)) at 2:00 ...
