Hello all,
Thanks a million, to all who responded. And I think I've managed to
identify the correct tty, but...:

So I tried running the driver in debug mode...

It seems to come up, right up until I get bored and CTRL/C it. Which
I take to mean I failed to reproduce the problem in debug mode. (Yes,
I tried it several times with varying lengths of time.)
I'm thinking my problem is that for some reason the cyberpower driver
is failing to come up automatically. I don't see it in the process
table. And running it from the command line seems to work fine.
Configuration files follow. What am I missing?
Thanks!

# Network UPS Tools: example ups.conf
#
# --- SECURITY NOTE ---
#
# If you use snmp-ups and set a community string in here, you
# will have to secure this file to keep other users from obtaining
# that string. It needs to be readable by upsdrvctl and any drivers,
# and by upsd.
#
# ---
#
# This is where you configure all the UPSes that this system will be
# monitoring directly. These are usually attached to serial ports, but
# USB devices and SNMP devices are also supported.
#
# This file is used by upsdrvctl to start and stop your driver(s), and
# is also used by upsd to determine which drivers to monitor. The
# drivers themselves also read this file for configuration directives.
#
# The general form is:
#
# [upsname]
# driver = <drivername>
# port = <portname>
# < any other directives here >
[lupin1500AVR]
driver = cyberpower
port = /dev/tty00
#
# The section header ([upsname]) can be just about anything as long as
# it is a single word inside brackets. upsd uses this to uniquely
# identify a UPS on this system.
#
# If you have a UPS called snoopy, your section header would be "[snoopy]".
# On a system called "doghouse", the line in your upsmon.conf to monitor
# it would look something like this:
#
# MONITOR [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1 upsmonuser mypassword master
#
# It might look like this if monitoring in slave mode:
#
# MONITOR [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1 upsmonuser mypassword slave
#
# Configuration directives
# ------------------------
#
# These directives are common to all drivers that support ups.conf:
#
# driver: REQUIRED. Specify the program to run to talk to this UPS.
# apcsmart, fentonups, bestups, and sec are some examples.
#
# port: REQUIRED. The serial port where your UPS is connected.
# /dev/ttyS0 is usually the first port on Linux boxes, for example.
#
# sdorder: optional. When you have multiple UPSes on your system, you
# usually need to turn them off in a certain order. upsdrvctl
# shuts down all the 0s, then the 1s, 2s, and so on. To exclude
# a UPS from the shutdown sequence, set this to -1.
#
# The default value for this parameter is 0.
#
# nolock: optional, and not recommended for use in this file.
#
# If you put nolock in here, the driver will not lock the
# serial port every time it starts. This may allow other
# processes to seize the port if you start more than one by
# mistake.
#
# This is only intended to be used on systems where locking
# absolutely must be disabled for the software to work.
#
# maxstartdelay: optional. This can be set as a global variable
# above your first UPS definition and it can also be
# set in a UPS section. This value controls how long
# upsdrvctl will wait for the driver to finish starting.
# This keeps your system from getting stuck due to a
# broken driver or UPS.
#
# The default is 45 seconds.
#
#
# Anything else is passed through to the hardware-specific part of
# the driver.
#
# Examples
# --------
#
# A simple example for a UPS called "powerpal" that uses the fentonups
# driver on /dev/ttyS0 is:
#
# [powerpal]
# driver = fentonups
# port = /dev/ttyS0
# desc = "Web server"
#
# If your UPS driver requires additional settings, you can specify them
# here. For example, if it supports a setting of "1234" for the
# variable "cable", it would look like this:
#
# [myups]
# driver = mydriver
# port = /dev/ttyS1
# cable = 1234
# desc = "Something descriptive"
#
# To find out if your driver supports any extra settings, start it with
# the -h option and/or read the driver's documentation.
# Network UPS Tools: example upsmon configuration
#
# This file contains passwords, so keep it secure.
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
# RUN_AS_USER <userid>
#
# By default, upsmon splits into two processes. One stays as root and
# waits to run the SHUTDOWNCMD. The other one switches to another userid
# and does everything else.
#
# The default nonprivileged user is set at compile-time with
# 'configure --with-user=...'.
#
# You can override it with '-u <user>' when starting upsmon, or just
# define it here for convenience.
#
# Note: if you plan to use the reload feature, this file (upsmon.conf)
# must be readable by this user! Since it contains passwords, DO NOT
# make it world-readable. Also, do not make it writable by the upsmon
# user, since it creates an opportunity for an attack by changing the
# SHUTDOWNCMD to something malicious.
#
# For best results, you should create a new normal user like "nutmon",
# and make it a member of a "nut" group or similar. Then specify it
# here and grant read access to the upsmon.conf for that group.
#
# This user should not have write access to upsmon.conf.
#
RUN_AS_USER nutmon
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
# MONITOR <system> <powervalue> <username> <password> ("master"|"slave")
#
# List systems you want to monitor. Not all of these may supply power
# to the system running upsmon, but if you want to watch it, it has to
# be in this section.
#
# You must have at least one of these declared.
#
# <system> is a UPS identifier in the form <upsname>@<hostname>[:<port>]
# like [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], etc.
#
# Examples:
#
# - "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" means a UPS called "su700" on a system called "mybox"
#
# - "[EMAIL PROTECTED]:5678" is a UPS called "fenton" on a system called
# "bigbox" which runs upsd on port "5678".
#
# The UPS names like "su700" and "fenton" are set in your ups.conf
# in [brackets] which identify a section for a particular driver.
#
# If the ups.conf on host "doghouse" has a section called "snoopy", the
# identifier for it would be "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".
#
# <powervalue> is an integer - the number of power supplies that this UPS
# feeds on this system. Most computers only have one power supply, so this
# is normally set to 1. You need a pretty big or special box to have any
# other value here.
#
# You can also set this to 0 for a system that doesn't supply any power,
# but you still want to monitor. Use this when you want to hear about
# changes for a given UPS without shutting down when it goes critical,
# unless <powervalue> is 0.
#
# <username> and <password> must match an entry in that system's
# upsd.users. If your username is "monmaster" and your password is
# "blah", the upsd.users would look like this:
#
# [monmaster]
# password = blah
# allowfrom = (whatever applies to this host)
# upsmon master (or slave)
#
# "master" means this system will shutdown last, allowing the slaves
# time to shutdown first.
#
# "slave" means this system shuts down immediately when power goes critical.
#
MONITOR [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1 monmaster ******* master
# Examples:
#
# MONITOR [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1 monmaster blah master
# MONITOR [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1 upsmon secretpass slave
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
# MINSUPPLIES <num>
#
# Give the number of power supplies that must be receiving power to keep
# this system running. Most systems have one power supply, so you would
# put "1" in this field.
#
# Large/expensive server type systems usually have more, and can run with
# a few missing. The HP NetServer LH4 can run with 2 out of 4, for example,
# so you'd set that to 2. The idea is to keep the box running as long
# as possible, right?
#
# Obviously you have to put the redundant supplies on different UPS circuits
# for this to make sense! See big-servers.txt in the docs subdirectory
# for more information and ideas on how to use this feature.
MINSUPPLIES 1
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
# SHUTDOWNCMD "<command>"
#
# upsmon runs this command when the system needs to be brought down.
#
# This should work just about everywhere ... if it doesn't, well, change it.
SHUTDOWNCMD "/sbin/shutdown -h +0"
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
# NOTIFYCMD <command>
#
# upsmon calls this to send messages when things happen
#
# This command is called with the full text of the message as one argument.
# The environment string NOTIFYTYPE will contain the type string of
# whatever caused this event to happen.
#
# Note that this is only called for NOTIFY events that have EXEC set with
# NOTIFYFLAG. See NOTIFYFLAG below for more details.
#
# Making this some sort of shell script might not be a bad idea. For more
# information and ideas, see pager.txt in the docs directory.
#
# Example:
NOTIFYCMD /usr/local/ups/bin/notifyme
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
# POLLFREQ <n>
#
# Polling frequency for normal activities, measured in seconds.
#
# Adjust this to keep upsmon from flooding your network, but don't make
# it too high or it may miss certain short-lived power events.
POLLFREQ 5
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
# POLLFREQALERT <n>
#
# Polling frequency in seconds while UPS on battery.
#
# You can make this number lower than POLLFREQ, which will make updates
# faster when any UPS is running on battery. This is a good way to tune
# network load if you have a lot of these things running.
#
# The default is 5 seconds for both this and POLLFREQ.
POLLFREQALERT 5
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
# HOSTSYNC - How long upsmon will wait before giving up on another upsmon
#
# The master upsmon process uses this number when waiting for slaves to
# disconnect once it has set the forced shutdown (FSD) flag. If they
# don't disconnect after this many seconds, it goes on without them.
#
# Similarly, upsmon slave processes wait up to this interval for the
# master upsmon to set FSD when a UPS they are monitoring goes critical -
# that is, on battery and low battery. If the master doesn't do its job,
# the slaves will shut down anyway to avoid damage to the file systems.
#
# This "wait for FSD" is done to avoid races where the status changes
# to critical and back between polls by the master.
HOSTSYNC 15
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
# DEADTIME - Interval to wait before declaring a stale ups "dead"
#
# upsmon requires a UPS to provide status information every few seconds
# (see POLLFREQ and POLLFREQALERT) to keep things updated. If the status
# fetch fails, the UPS is marked stale. If it stays stale for more than
# DEADTIME seconds, the UPS is marked dead.
#
# A dead UPS that was last known to be on battery is assumed to have gone
# to a low battery condition. This may force a shutdown if it is providing
# a critical amount of power to your system.
#
# Note: DEADTIME should be a multiple of POLLFREQ and POLLFREQALERT.
# Otherwise you'll have "dead" UPSes simply because upsmon isn't polling
# them quickly enough. Rule of thumb: take the larger of the two
# POLLFREQ values, and multiply by 3.
DEADTIME 15
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
# POWERDOWNFLAG - Flag file for forcing UPS shutdown on the master system
#
# upsmon will create a file with this name in master mode when it's time
# to shut down the load. You should check for this file's existence in
# your shutdown scripts and run 'upsdrvctl shutdown' if it exists.
#
# See the shutdown.txt file in the docs subdirectory for more information.
POWERDOWNFLAG /etc/killpower
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
# NOTIFYMSG - change messages sent by upsmon when certain events occur
#
# You can change the stock messages to something else if you like.
#
# NOTIFYMSG <notify type> "message"
#
# NOTIFYMSG ONLINE "UPS %s is getting line power"
# NOTIFYMSG ONBATT "Someone pulled the plug on %s"
#
# Note that %s is replaced with the identifier of the UPS in question.
#
# Possible values for <notify type>:
#
# ONLINE : UPS is back online
# ONBATT : UPS is on battery
# LOWBATT : UPS has a low battery (if also on battery, it's "critical")
# FSD : UPS is being shutdown by the master (FSD = "Forced Shutdown")
# COMMOK : Communications established with the UPS
# COMMBAD : Communications lost to the UPS
# SHUTDOWN : The system is being shutdown
# REPLBATT : The UPS battery is bad and needs to be replaced
# NOCOMM : A UPS is unavailable (can't be contacted for monitoring)
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
# NOTIFYFLAG - change behavior of upsmon when NOTIFY events occur
#
# By default, upsmon sends walls (global messages to all logged in users)
# and writes to the syslog when things happen. You can change this.
#
# NOTIFYFLAG <notify type> <flag>[+<flag>][+<flag>] ...
#
# NOTIFYFLAG ONLINE SYSLOG
# NOTIFYFLAG ONBATT SYSLOG+WALL+EXEC
#
# Possible values for the flags:
#
# SYSLOG - Write the message in the syslog
# WALL - Write the message to all users on the system
# EXEC - Execute NOTIFYCMD (see above) with the message
# IGNORE - Don't do anything
#
# If you use IGNORE, don't use any other flags on the same line.
NOTIFYFLAG ONLINE SYSLOG+WALL+EXEC
NOTIFYFLAG ONBATT SYSLOG+WALL+EXEC
NOTIFYFLAG LOWBATT SYSLOG+WALL+EXEC
NOTIFYFLAG FSD SYSLOG+WALL+EXEC
NOTIFYFLAG COMMOK SYSLOG+WALL+EXEC
NOTIFYFLAG COMMBAD SYSLOG+WALL+EXEC
NOTIFYFLAG SHUTDOWN SYSLOG+WALL+EXEC
NOTIFYFLAG REPLBATT SYSLOG+WALL+EXEC
NOTIFYFLAG NOCOMM SYSLOG+WALL+EXEC
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
# RBWARNTIME - replace battery warning time in seconds
#
# upsmon will normally warn you about a battery that needs to be replaced
# every 43200 seconds, which is 12 hours. It does this by triggering a
# NOTIFY_REPLBATT which is then handled by the usual notify structure
# you've defined above.
#
# If this number is not to your liking, override it here.
RBWARNTIME 43200
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
# NOCOMMWARNTIME - no communications warning time in seconds
#
# upsmon will let you know through the usual notify system if it can't
# talk to any of the UPS entries that are defined in this file. It will
# trigger a NOTIFY_NOCOMM by default every 300 seconds unless you
# change the interval with this directive.
NOCOMMWARNTIME 300
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
# FINALDELAY - last sleep interval before shutting down the system
#
# On a master, upsmon will wait this long after sending the NOTIFY_SHUTDOWN
# before executing your SHUTDOWNCMD. If you need to do something in between
# those events, increase this number. Remember, at this point your UPS is
# almost depleted, so don't make this too high.
#
# Alternatively, you can set this very low so you don't wait around when
# it's time to shut down. Some UPSes don't give much warning for low
# battery and will require a value of 0 here for a safe shutdown.
#
# Note: If FINALDELAY on the slave is greater than HOSTSYNC on the master,
# the master will give up waiting for the slave to disconnect.
FINALDELAY 5
