Gernot,
Thanks for that feedback. ?However, I did as you suggested and tried several
different login/password?combinations, and none seem to work. ?The most obvious
would be the user name and password in upsd.usersbut it also does not work. ?I
get an ERR ACCESS DENIED message. ?Where am I going wrong ?

I refer to debian's "NUT Monitor" (python): One started it
connects to
localhost/default ups or so without username/pwd.
Then click disconnect and "use auth" checkbox will be clickable and
login data may be entered. The ups must be selected now, connect again
and the commands will work.
CU,
Gernot

Okay. ?I figured out why I could not send command, even though I has entered the
correct login and password.I did not include ?' instcmds ?= ALL ' ?in my
upsd.users ?file. ?It now works as expected. ?Thanks.

I refer to debian's "NUT Monitor" (python): One started it
connects to
localhost/default ups or so without username/pwd.
Then click disconnect and "use auth" checkbox will be clickable and
login data may be entered. The ups must be selected now, connect again
and the commands will work.
CU,
Gernot
