OK, can someone tell me what utterly moronic thing I am doing wrong? I have two roughly identical Linux system running NUT, and one works properly. The other almost does. The second system works well once everything is up, but after booting, the system does not have connectivity to the UPS. I have to manually run `upsdrvctl start backup`, `/etc/init.d/nut start`, and `upsd` to get NUT working. Thereafter it works fine, whether anyone is logged in or not. After a boot, however, I have to log in and kick-start it again. What am I missing? The S50nut symlink is in /etc/rc2.d, and both systems are at runlevel 2. I set up the systems the very same way (as far as I can remember or tell), except that one employs driver = tripplite_usb in usb.conf and the other uses driver = usbhid-ups, plus the two have different backup names. Otherwise, I think everything is the same.

To restart, does it suffice to only run '/etc/init.d/nut start'?> What am I missing? The S50nut symlink is in /etc/rc2.d, and both > systems are at runlevel 2.

Otherwise, I think everything is the same.One thing you can do to catch any subtle differences is to tar up the /etc/nut directory on one machine, then extract it into /tmp on the other machine, and use 'diff -Naur /etc/nut /tmp/nut' or whatnot. -- - Charles Lepple
