The latest release of openSUSE is 13.1 and it includes NUT 2.6.5. It is a pleasure to report that this works well when equipped with a working set of configuration files. Additionally, the setup requires 1. Something to execute upsdrvctl shutdown to turn off the UPS unit. A systemd script "ups-delayed.shutdown" in /usr/lib/systemd/system-shutdown will do the job. #! /bin/bash # ups-delayed.shutdown Delayed turn off for the UPS unit. # Needed for automatic system restart when wall power returns. UPSDRVCTL_BIN=/usr/lib/ups/driver/upsdrvctl $UPSDRVCTL_BIN shutdown 2. Automatic start for system unit upsd.service. In release 13.1 the previous table of execution levels has been replaced by Yast => System => Services Manager but this does not include upsd. (This omission may be corrected by 13.1 updates) To set up automatic daemon start, execute as root the commands pinta:~ # chkconfig upsd on pinta:~ # chkconfig --list | grep upsd upsd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off You should see the confirmation that the daemon will be automatically started in levels 3 and 5.
