Nut upsuser - Feb 2007 - upsd looking at wrong filename for socket?

Hi,

When I start upsd under normal conditions, I get this:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Network UPS Tools upsd 2.0.4
/etc/nut/upsd.conf is world readable
Can't connect to UPS [tripplite] (tripplite_usb-auto): No such file or
directory
/etc/nut/upsd.users is world readable
Synchronizing........ giving up
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Looking at the state directory, it is obvious what the problem is:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
root@sandbox:~# ls -l /var/run/nut
total 8
srw-rw---- 1 nut nut 0 2007-02-16 14:41 tripplite
-rw-r--r-- 1 nut nut 5 2007-02-16 14:41 tripplite_usb-tripplite.pid
-rw-r--r-- 1 nut nut 5 2007-02-16 14:43 upsd.pid
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, I try this:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
root@sandbox:~# cd /var/run/nut
root@sandbox:/var/run/nut# ln -s tripplite tripplite_usb-auto
root@sandbox:/var/run/nut# ls -l
total 8
srw-rw---- 1 nut  nut  0 2007-02-16 14:41 tripplite
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2007-02-16 14:45 tripplite_usb-auto -> tripplite
-rw-r--r-- 1 nut  nut  5 2007-02-16 14:41 tripplite_usb-tripplite.pid
-rw-r--r-- 1 nut  nut  5 2007-02-16 14:43 upsd.pid
root@sandbox:/var/run/nut# upsd
Network UPS Tools upsd 2.0.4
/etc/nut/upsd.conf is world readable
Connected to UPS [tripplite]: tripplite_usb-auto
/etc/nut/upsd.users is world readable
Synchronizing...done
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, why is upsd looking at the wrong file?  Is my configuration just botched
somewhere?

thanks,
Forest

You probably didn't use upsdrvctl to start the driver, but rather
started it directly from the commandline. That doesn't work.

No, it's the way you're starting the driver. See 'man 8
upsdrvctl' and
'man 8 nutupsdrv'.
