Nut upsuser - Sep 2019 - Changing UPS to a bigger APC 1500 1000WA, what driver?

I've drug it as far under the table as I can get it on a 30% heart.  
Yeah, I'm getting on, I'll be 85 in about 2 weeks. Heart surgury will be
scheduled in the next few days to replace a worn out, leaky aortic 
valve.  Piece if cake if my veins are big enough.

So what driver do I use with a Smart-UPS_1500???

Never mind it was found and accessed by the bootup! upsc my usp reports:

Which is a little less verbose than the smaller belkin I took out because 
its 3rd battery set had failed, apparently at least 3 shorted cells.

I can recall the first time I setup nut to watch a ups, a cast iron 
bitch.  An old wet batttery NCR that was bigger than my 30" tower 
computer. Ate battery's for breakfast too. This automatic configuration 
is a breath of fresh air, thank you very much.
Amazing...  Now I need to get something and finsh shoving it under the 
desk, piece of 1x4 about 4 feet long.  Must be all of 70 lbs...  Or I'm 
getting puny in my advanced years. I no longer can claim I am as good as 
I ever was, not even once.

It's a nuisance message. While NUT can support SSL to protect the passwords
that upsmon sends to upsd, it doesn't apply to upsc, which doesn't send
passwords. Known issue for 2.7.4.

The full set of variables is hiding behind another APC-specific protocol. At
least this time the protocol is documented. I have a Smart-UPS C1000 that does
the same thing. I've been meaning to mess with it, but so many other
projects... Also, hard to argue with "it works".

I hear that, loud and clear.

Yes, any attempt to argue with it makes one look like a fool.

Take care of yourself Charles, the years are sneaking up on us both I 
suspect.  I'll be 85 in a couple weeks. But ATM, I'm trying to get ahead
of an rpi-4b that does not seem to want to make video, waiting on parts 
from Hong Kong. When it does work, I'll be running an 11x54" Sheldon 
lathe I cnc'd a couple years ago with it.  Stuff like this Keeps me out 
of the bars don'cha know.
