Hi, I'm currently using nut 2.0.2 together with a APC Smart-UPS 1500. Is there a way to set the "battery.charge.restart" variable via the configuration file or is "upsrw" the only way? If it's possible via the configure file, how is the file supposed to look? Best regards, Thomas Jarosch

Currently, the only way is via upsrw. Generally, that kind of data are stored on the UPS when set, but if it isn't the case, the settings is lost when nut stops. I have plan to do so for some times now, as I've several variables that are redundant between the driver.* and the ups.* collections (ie ups.delay.*, ...) and also as I like to standardise things... I still have some investigation to be done before this can be applied, but basically, you will only have to add the variable name and its value in ups.conf, ie: [myups] driver = drv port = port ups.delay.shutdown = 10 ups.delay.restart = 20 That task is now logged: https://alioth.debian.org/pm/admin/index.php?group_id=30602&group_project_id=57&update_pg=1 Arnaud Quette --- 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 ...
