Time, not sure who owner is, but I've tried as both admin and myself, to no avail. ?However, I told you that mesg is y, buti tried to send a mesg using ?' write ' ?and it says I have messages disabled. ????? ?

Tim, Thanks for the feedback. ?I am the only user (standalone system), but I checked 'mesg' and made sure it was set?to 'mesg y' . ?

Tried 'echo hi | wall' and no message. ?I looked at 'wall -h' and it would seem that it is supposed to. ?I eventried ?' wall ?[<filename> | <message>] ' ?and got nothing. ?

Charles, This is how I have the upsmon.conf set up. ?The only time I get a message is if the?NUT Monitor gui is running. ?I open LXterminal, pull the wall plug, and I get no messagesin the terminal. ?MONITOR Asium_p700 at localhost 1 upsmon jsamcr master?MINSUPPLIES 1?SHUTDOWNCMD "/sbin/shutdown -h +0"?NOTIFYCMD /sbin/upssched?POLLFREQ 5?POLLFREQALERT 5?HOSTSYNC 15?DEADTIME

I tested shutdown by pulling the plug from the wall socket and observed that I was notgetting any notifications. ?Then I opened the NUT Monitor GUI and immediately got notified. What did I do wrong? ?I think that upsmon runs at startup so why do I have to open the GUI?in order to get messages? ? John?"Science is organized common sense.

I pulled the AC power and let the system shutdown. ?Everything appears to have gone well. ?Checked thesystem log and found the following sequence of events: [CODE] Jul 15 10:20:50 debian upsmon[678]: UPS 1 on batteryJul 15 10:26:05 debian upsmon[678]: UPS 1 battery is lowJul 15 10:26:05 debian upsd[675]: Client upsmon at 127.0.0.1 set FSD on UPS [Asium_p700]Jul 15 10:26:05 debian upsmon[678]:

Looking in to my previous question about no messages until clicking NUT Monitor GUI,I found that it was recommend to make sure that /etc/default/nut ?should be as follows: # /etc/default/nut START_UPSD=yes START_UPSMON=yesHowever, there is no '/etc/default/nut' . ?

Two quick and simple questions; I want to install the "WinPower" software for my new UPS. On their web site, they have a tar.gz file available for download. I know the reasons for staying with RPM, if at all possible. I''ve Googled and Yahood for ""WinPower"+RPM+Linux and get hits, but no obvious RPM. I tried "yum install winpower" and the response was

Either I am missing something or I am really STUPID. 1. I have added a user, named nutmon, to the nut group. 2. In upsmon.conf I have set RUN_AS_USER nutmon . 3. I have NOTIFYCMD /etc/nut/notifyme.sh and it is set as 755, so should be executable by everyone. 4. I have the NOTIFYFLAG set as SYSLOG+WALL+EXEC, so the shell should execute. This is the shell script : #!/bin/bash # # NUT NOTIFYCMD

Greetings.? I have been using NUT for some time now and have not had any issues until yesterday.? I was trying to get my NOTIFYCMD script working and was making modifications to upsmon.conf .? After making the mod to upsmon.conf I invoked upsmon -c reload and a few minutes later the system shut down.? There was a loss of communications with the UPS.? I have an Asium P700 UPS and use the blazer_usb

Look around for code snippets to get this. Ah, that notify-send. Another option is to launch the PyNUT app in your xsession (or

Hello everyone. I have a "Forza Power Technologies" UPS, model sl-501. the software i've been used to manage it is Winpower v.2.2.0.1. It works on windows but not linux. There is a version for this app for linux, but once installed, it doesn't detect the ups (the connection is via usb). My question is if there is a driver useful for this hardware.

Hi to everybody. Some days ago, I bought an UPS by Forza Power Technologies, model SL-1001. This Forza SL-1001 is line-interactive, has 14,4 A/h charge and is rated at 1000VA. Before, I had a TrippLite Omni 500 (or something like that), a simple contact-closure UPS, and I used nut with the simple genericupsdriver, so I'm new with this type of UPSs. NUT doesn't list Forza as a

Who is the owner and group for wall? Note that it is set group ID to allow it to write to sessions . . . thus, that owner needs to be a system account that can write to devices, not just Joe-Bob . . . You might also try 'strace wall' to see what it is trying to do. - Tim On July 15, 2015 9:48:32 PM CDT, john hart <jsamcr at yahoo.com> wrote: >Tim, >Thanks for the feedback.

Hi there. I bought a generic UPS from a local (South African) hardware company, Sahara. They call it an "Electra 1000 Plus". From what I am told it is a 1000 VA line interactive UPS. It comes with "WinPower" Java based software that I couldn't get to work. (Crashes on start-up, without any explanation.) I would like to know if any one on this mailing list could help me
