Charles, I have verified that when I unplug the wall power that messages are being sent to the SYSLOG . ?This occursregardless of whether the Nut Monitor GUI is opened. ?However, the only time I receive messages to my desktopis when the GUI is running. I even went so far as to open at tty and see if I got message there, but NOPE ! ?? I have not yet tired to unplug power to see if I get a good system shutdown. ?I'm a little concerned that thingswon't go well. ?However, I guess I can always recover if things go badly. ?I will keep you informed.
