Nut upsuser - Sep 2017 - building on Solus

Hi Charles,

I am using the same configs as I have in Linux Mint. What do I need to 
change here?

ups.conf
[defender]
 ??? driver = blazer_usb
 ??? port = auto
 ??? pollinterval = 5
 ??? desc = "PowerShield Defender 650"
upsd
 ??? default.battery.voltage.high = 13.70
 ??? default.battery.voltage.low = 10.40

upsd.users
[local_mon]
 ??? ??? password = ********
 ??? ??? allowfrom = localhost
 ??? ??? actions = set
 ??? ??? actions = fsd
 ??? ??? instcmds = all
 ??? ??? upsmon master

upsmon.conf
MONITOR??? defender at localhost 1 local_mon *********** master

that connects over the network, you might not want it to be able to shut down
the master, so you would use a different NUT username with "upsmon
slave" privileges.

Sounds like this worked itself out, but if you change upsd.users in the future,
you will need to reload (sudo upsd -c reload) or restart upsd.

Hi Charles,

Can you give any instructions for installing the NutMonitor.
I am looking at the readme in /scripts/python but am unsure how to proceed.
I know absolutely nothing about python.
Is there no install process for this?
