Nut upsdev - Sep 2007 - usbhid-ups: shutdown testing needed

To people with APC, CyberPower, Belkin and TrippLite UPS'es and using
the 'usbhid-ups' driver.

There are some concerns that the usbhid-ups driver is not acting as it
is supposed to do. Could you run the following command (as root and with
the mains plugged) and check if the UPS powers back on automatically?

	upsmon -c fsd

I think we should *not* release nut-2.2.1 if we're not confident that
the above is working as it should. I'm fairly certain that the subdriver
shutdown() function in all except the MGE subdriver is broken at the moment.

Best regards, Arjen

ok, I'll retain the 2.2.1 release until we have enough confidence in this
part.
IMO, the APC support should be fine since at least Peter and Charles
have tested it.
For the others, I've no clue.

Ping me back when it's ok.
