Can anyone give me insight into upsrw? I have a cyberpower PR2200 UPS (running an experimental version of the powerpanel driver hot off the presses by Arjen (thanks Arjen!!)). When I try to run "upsrw -s xyz=abc" to set any available variable, I get "Set variable failed: Access denied". What user name and password is it looking for here? My upsd.users file has 2 users configured, one for local master use, and one for remote slave use. I tried the master username/password and the result is the same. I've tried system username/password with no luck. There doesn't seem to be much documentation on upsrw, and even the man page just refers to username and password without giving a scope as to what kind of username/password is expected and how to define it in upsd.users. Thoughts? Thanks! -Russ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[monuser] password = pass allowfrom = localhost actions = set instcmds = all upsmon master The line 'instcmds = ALL' tell the daemon that user 'monuser' with password 'pass' can run all commands. The line 'actions = set' gives the monuser rights to set variables. Try 'man upsd.users' for more info. Regards Kjell

Run upsrw <ups> (without -s option) to see a list of all available variables and their values. -- Peter
