Ah, that notify-send. Another option is to launch the PyNUT app in your xsession
(or equivalent) - it will also display GUI notifications. In Debian, it is in
the package "nut-monitor". I haven't used this personally, though.

Either way, please let us know what we can do to expand the NUT documentation on
this topic.

Well, I have given upon the idea of using notify-send.  It really doesn't
do what I need to do. What I really want is a sudo permanent record of the
upsmon events so that I can review them after the fact, so to speak.  For
instance, if the computer shuts down while I am away, I would like to
review what happened.  'notify-send' won't do that.  And I think the
syslog
is not adequate as it gets updated, and records lost, on a regular basis.
So, I think I want the NOTIFYCMD script to simply output the messages, with
date and time, to a file that can be reviewed after the fact.  With my
limited Linus skill set I'll be working on it for awhile.  Thanks for your
assistance.

Sending the events to a file turned turned out to be easier than I
imagined.  I just put the following in the NOTIFYCMD shell script:

echo $(date) "$*" >> /home/john/upsmon_events.txt

and the events are logged to the file.  I did CHMOD 666 on the file so I
can delete old events.  Don't need notify-send.  YEAH !  I do occasionally
us the PyNUT app to run battery test and look at the health of the ups.
And yes, if it is running I get 'notify-send' type messages.  Butr
again,
if I am present it doesn't really matter. It's what happens when I am
away
that I want to know about.  The 'logger' will get me what I want.

Thanks,
John
