OK, can someone tell me what utterly moronic thing I am doing wrong? I have two roughly identical Linux system running NUT, and one works properly. The other almost does. The second system works well once everything is up, but after booting, the system does not have connectivity to the UPS. I have to manually run `upsdrvctl start backup`, `/etc/init.d/nut start`, and `upsd` to get NUT

...$DEFAULT pid_dir=/var/run/nut upsmon_pid=${pid_dir}/upsmon.pid upsd_pid=${pid_dir}/upsd.pid upsd=/usr/local/ups/sbin/upsd upsmon=/usr/local/ups/sbin/upsmon upsdrvctl=/usr/local/ups/bin/upsdrvctl log=">/dev/null 2>/dev/null" # Check if /var/run/nut exists and has the correct perms check_var_directory() { [ ! -d ${pid_dir} ] && mkdir -p ${pid_dir} \ && chown root:nut ${pid_dir} \ && chmod 770 ${pid_dir} } start_stop_server () { case "$START_UPSD" in y|Y|yes|YES|Yes) case "$1" in start)...

So....seems so better... Each time I rebbot, I miss the /var/run/nut folder... root at artu:~# upsdrvctl start Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.7.2 Network UPS Tools - Megatec/Q1 protocol USB driver 0.11 (2.7.2) Can't chdir to /var/run/nut: No such file or directory Driver failed to start (exit status=1) root at artu:~# upsd Network UPS Tools upsd 2.7.2 fopen
