Nut upsuser - Apr 2006 - Just to monitor an UPS

Hi all,

  I would like to know how to monitor an ups connected to linux server (usb).
I explain : I have a nut-srv connected with 2 serial ups and 2 linux nut-client.
I don't have any usb port on the nut-srv. So I would like to connect usb ups
on a other machine just to have the state (load, temp, etc) of this ups. Do I
need to reinstall a server or juste the driver and what I have to configure ?

Thanks for your answer.

Best regards

Olivier

You only need to run the driver on the computer with the physical
connection to the UPS.

If you just want to manually monitor the UPS, you can use 'upsc
name-of-ups@nut-srv'. For automatic shutdown, you probably want to
check the documentation.
