[Nut-upsuser] NOTIFYCMD not running

>  When you run that command, does "some text" appear in the system
log?When I run Documents/scripts/ups-log.py manually I do see the expected text
echo'ed to the command line.  It actually appends to a Google Sheet, not
the internal log files.

When I would expect to see it triggered by NOTIFYCMD, I don't see any text
printed and nothing shows up at the google sheets.  If the permission was
being denied, would that be logged somewhere?

Suggestion: in the ups-log.py script, open a local debug logging file with 
handle "fd_log" in mode "append".  Record every call of
ups-log.py in "fd_log",
whether valid or not.  Does "some text" appear in "fd_log"? 
For the other calls
of ups-log.py, does anything appear in "fd_log"?

Roger

For example:

# Function open_log_file opens a file for logging
# The file owner will be uid, with group gid, e.g. upsd:daemon
# Returns file handle
def open_log_file (logfile, uid, gid) :
   try :
     fd_log = open(logfile, 'a')   # Opened for current user, re-open if
user change
     os.chmod(logfile, 0o664)
     os.chown(logfile, uid, gid)
     return fd_log
   except :
     Your favourite error handling ...
