Hi. I'm configuring nut from freebsd ports. For a machine that only is a slave, you only need to run uspmon. Is there a configuration entry for ups.conf or upsd.conf that is minimal and sufficient to have the upsdrvctl and upsd processes digest the config files happily (and exit)? Right now on my slave I receive upsd[451]: Warning: no UPS definitions in ups.conf and Fatal error: at least one UPS must be defined in ups.conf Also, (a second question) ... are their easily searchable archives of the nut archives (both old and new) available via the web? I'm having some luck with http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=site%3Aexploits.org+searchstring from google cache for the old list and http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Alists.alioth.debian.org%2Fpipermail%2Fnut-upsuser%2F+searchstring But it's not a good long term solution. thanks John

On some Linux distributions one can achieve this just by not installing anything other than the "nut-client" package (which contains only "upsmon" and "upsc" and friends). On others it is a matter of setting some flag in some configuration file (on Debian, for example, is "START_UPSD=no" in "/etc/default/nut"). Don't really know how to do it on a FreeBSD box. -- Carlos Rodrigues
