Nut upsuser - Dec 2010 - upsdrvctl doesn't seem to start with init.d

I can run "upsdrvctl start" and it starts fine.  On computer boot, 
however, it doesn't start properly.

I'm trying to find the logs which would give more detail, but I'm not 
sure where they are.  I see no logs in /etc/nut or /var/log.

I don't know if this helps, but it looks like there's a problem with the
PID file generation: when I run "upsdrvctl stop" I get an error about
a
missing PID file.

My UPS driver is the apcsmart driver.

Thank you for your help.

try running directly your driver in debug mode (as root), ie:
$ /path/to/apcsmart -DDD -a <upsname>

and send us back the output.

have you also verified device privileges? (ie "ls -l /dev/ttyS0" or
something like that)

cheers,
Arnaud
