Hello, I am working on getting NUT working with my Smart-UPS 900 UPS (with the C cable) For several years, I have used the apcupsd product, but because of the nagios support for nut, I am working on switching over. Under apcupsd, I get tons of information from my UPS: # /usr/local/sbin/apcaccess status DATE : Sat Jul 09 12:56:41 CDT 2005 HOSTNAME : homer RELEASE : 3.8.6 UPSNAME : UPS_IDEN CABLE : Custom Cable Smart MODEL : APC Smart-UPS 900 UPSMODE : Net Master STARTTIME: Sat Jul 09 12:55:48 CDT 2005 SHARE : NetworkUPS STATUS : ONLINE LINEV : 112.8 Volts LOADPCT : 97.7 Percent Load Capacity BCHARGE : 100.0 Percent TIMELEFT : 8.0 Minutes MBATTCHG : 5 Percent MINTIMEL : 3 Minutes MAXTIME : 0 Seconds MAXLINEV : 113.4 Volts MINLINEV : 112.2 Volts OUTPUTV : 112.8 Volts SENSE : High DWAKE : 000 Seconds DSHUTD : 020 Seconds DLOWBATT : 02 Minutes LOTRANS : 103.0 Volts HITRANS : 132.0 Volts RETPCT : 000.0 Percent ITEMP : 44.5 C Internal ALARMDEL : 5 seconds BATTV : 27.3 Volts LINEFREQ : 60.0 Hz LASTXFER : Line voltage notch or spike NUMXFERS : 0 TONBATT : 0 seconds CUMONBATT: 0 seconds XOFFBATT : N/A SELFTEST : NO STESTI : ON STATFLAG : 0x008 Status Flag DIPSW : 0x0F Dip Switch REG3 : 0x00 Register 3 MANDATE : 08/23/93 SERIALNO : 00035452 BATTDATE : 08/23/93 NOMOUTV : 115 NOMBATTV : 24.0 APCMODEL : 7QD END APC : Sat Jul 09 12:56:42 CDT 2005 But under NUT, all I get is this: #./upsc APC-900@localhost driver.name: apcsmart driver.parameter.port: /dev/ttyb driver.version: 2.0.2 driver.version.internal: 1.99.7 input.voltage: 114.7 ups.mfr: APC ups.model: Smart-UPS ups.serial: 00035452 ups.status: OL My driver infor for NUT: Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.0.2 Network UPS Tools (version 2.0.2) - APC Smart protocol driver Driver version 1.99.7, command table version 2.0 Detected Smart-UPS [00035452] on /dev/ttyb Using nut-2.0.2 Anyone have any info?

It would be great to get all of the info out of nut.the one that could have answered your question is Russell Kroll, the author of this driver (and of most part of NUT). Sadly, he's now gone, and nobody has yet stepped up to take over this driver. Anyway, I'll try to give you the few info I have: 1) Russell has merged newapc and the previous apcsmart together. 2) look at apcupsd to see the differences (which file(s) ?) 3) launch apcsmart in debug mode to see if something went wrong (using "apcsmart -DDDDD -a APC-900") FYI, I've some times ago called APCUPSD guys to join us and take care of all of that. Point still underway, but seems not on the good way :-( Arnaud --- Linux / Unix Expert - MGE UPS SYSTEMS - R&D Dpt OpenSource Developer - http://arnaud.quette.free.fr/ Debian Developer - http://people.debian.org/~aquette/ ... and much more ...
