Nut upsuser - Jun 2006 - Fedora 4 Nut 2.0.3-0.1.fc5 INIT.D not working

I made  huge leap from RH 8 to Fedora core 4 and am installing current 
versions of all applications.

yum -y install nut nut-client     installs nut-2.0.3-0.1.fc5  and 
nut-client-2.0.3-0.1.fc5

I can get it started by running

    upsd

but
    service ups start

does nothing.  Not a single character returned, just a new command 
prompt.  Nothing appears in /var/log/messages to provide any clues either.

   service ups stop

works fine after upsd is used to start nut.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Pete,

/sbin/service is just a shell script that calls the appropriate script
in /etc/init.d/. You should look at your /etc/init.d/ups to see what,
if anything, it does. 

I have simply put this in my rc.local:

start_ups_driver() {
    /usr/bin/upsdrvctl start > /dev/null
}

start_ups_daemon() {
    /usr/sbin/upsd > /dev/null
}

start_ups_monitor() {
    /usr/sbin/upsmon > /dev/null
}

action $"Starting UPS driver" start_ups_driver
action $"Starting UPS daemon" start_ups_daemon
action $"Starting UPS monitor" start_ups_monitor
