I could not make the bestfortress driver 0.02 work for my Best Fortress LI675VA, so I have made a patch for the driver. The reason was, that all responses are preceded and terminated by CR LF, but the driver would discard everything after the first CR LF. The following patch discards everything up to the first LF. It also adds a d...

[As posted as Ubuntu Question #184284 on Launchpad] Hi, I try to set up nut (2.4.3) on my Lucid (10.04.3 LTS) to make use of my old but very trusty UPS (Best Power Fortress 660 LI). Yes, this UPS is old (about 16 years), but with its third battery pack last week it is as good as new. It runs perfectly well with Windows XP, Vista and even Windows 7. But not so with Ubuntu and nut. After

I am looking at bestfortress and trying to figure out and fix some things, which is causing me to try to improve logging first. A few questions: 0) The developer guide doesn't seem to address any of this, or did I miss it? 1) It seems upsdebugx prints to stdout instead of syslog if in foreground. That's great but I...

I just hooked up an old Best Fortress (with new batteries). Those things are built like a tank, and it works out of the box in Fedora 14 (nut-2.6.2) thanks to the bestfortress driver still in the project. It had disappeared for 2.0, but I sent it in for 2.2, and you guys kept it going. -- Stuart D. Gathman <stuart at bmsi.com> Business Management Systems Inc.

I'm not sure I'll be able to address this one, for budget and time constraint. The same sadly goes for bestfortress... Part of the feedback I'm waiting for: - Michail, and the "ACK" check for blazer. The remaining tests and feedback will allow us to replace bestups by blazer, - Michal and Greg still have to check for the last apcsmart changes, - Rich has reported a possible race condition in usbhi...

Sounds good - what I wrote down as a plan for bestfortress very much matches that, 1 to 5 where 5 is if you want to see every IO byte. > Regarding syslog/stdout/stderr, the upsdebugx*() methods are defined here > and near: > https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/blob/ad70749f243527e774c3f03a08228430143396e9/common/common.c#L1205 > and end u...

I have several Best "Fortress LI660", manufactured ~1995, which use bestfortress(8). nut has been monitoring two of them just fine for years via a USB/serial adaptor and homemade TXD/RXD/COMMON cable. I am now trying to properly set up LB shutdown and have a few questions. 1) ups.shutdown.delay is set in the driver: dstate_setinfo("ups.delay.shutdown", &qu...

Hello all, During discussion of https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/issues/1782 me and Greg uncovered a diametral difference of opinion about the verbosity of NUT programs in general, and of `upsmon -K` (checking for POWERDOWNFLAG during shutdown integration) in particular.
