Nut upsuser - Feb 2018 - Notification delay (COMMBAD)

Hello

Is it possible to limit the frequency of specific notifications? In 2.7.4 
it seems to be possible only for REPLBATT via RBWARNTIME, but that's it.

My specific problem is that the UPS got disconnected and before I got hold 
of the server to turn the upsmon off my mailbox got flooded with hundreds 
of messages.

It probably doesn't make sense for all notification types, but for COMMBAD 
it would be fairly useful.

Thanks
Michal

There is a general hook in the form of NOTIFYFLAG.? In upsmon.conf you
can specify the program to deliver notifications:

NOTIFYCMD /usr/sbin/upssched
NOTIFYFLAG COMMBAD????? EXEC
NOTIFYFLAG COMMOK EXEC
NOTIFYFLAG ONBATT EXEC
NOTIFYFLAG ONLINE EXEC

You can put your own program in place of upssched, but upssched has
quite a few features already implemented - including TIMER.

My upssched.conf:

CMDSCRIPT /usr/bin/upssched-tripp

AT COMMBAD tripp at localhost START-TIMER upsreset 10
AT COMMOK tripp at localhost CANCEL-TIMER upsreset
AT ONBATT * EXECUTE sms-onbatt
AT ONLINE * EXECUTE sms-online

upssched hands off to the program/script in CMDSCRIPT after implementing
its own features, passing the arbitrary even names you provide.
