I added the user that normally logons onto that machine to the nut 
group.? Different error now:


mythuser at amethi:~$ upsdrvctl start
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.7.4
Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.41 (2.7.4)
USB communication driver 0.33
kill: Operation not permitted
writepid: fopen /run/nut/usbhid-ups-cyberpowerAmethi.pid: Permission denied
Using subdriver: CyberPower HID 0.4

Not sure if this is the right solution, but I added write permissions on 
that file to the nut group.

Now I see.

mythuser at amethi:~$ upsdrvctl start
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.7.4
Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.41 (2.7.4)
USB communication driver 0.33
kill: Operation not permitted
Using subdriver: CyberPower HID 0.4
