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.

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

As an update to my first message, sent July 13, I am totally out of my league.I installed nut (apt-get install nut) on Debian Jessie. ?Went through the process of modifying?ups.conf and copied the udev ( cp /lib/udev/rules.d/52-nut-usbups.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/ ) When I ran ?upsdrvctl start ?I got a message about the usbhid-ups driver. ?It appears that NUTis not configured with the driver. ?The

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 . . .

Here is the previous email that I sent directly to Charles Lepple. ?I am now sending to the correct email with cc to Charles. ---------------- I am looking at, and trying to understand the rest of the conf files. ?But first want to askabout something from this message:[CODE]root at debian:/home/john# upsdrvctl startNetwork UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.7.2Network UPS Tools - Megatec/Q1

Any chance someone put 'mesg n' in the system profiles? That wou;d suppress wall output.

Hi list anyone having success with a working installation of NUT on Ubuntu Dapper from universe repository? I installed it via apt but it doesn't seem to work.../etc/nut is empty, I copied a working configuration from another machine (a Gentoo box) but when I try to start the ups-monitor or nut service, it simply dies silently. I'm using the snmp driver and, as said, other

Well, things might be working. ?I have gotten the upsmon.conf set up so that when I unplugthe wall power I get a message. ?Have not yet tested that I get a system shutdown. ?That iscoming soon. ?? One more thing I would like to know, however, and that is this: ?When I get a shutdown, I doNOT want the system to restart when wall power returns (AC power in Costa Rica can bekind of flaky). ? If I did

hi, i've just set up two new computers each with a Powerware 3105 ups. they have identical nut configurations and identical upss which are both plugged in via usb but only one is being detected by nut. the other keeps saying: Broadcast Message from nut at server-1 (somewhere) at 14:52 ... UPS ups at localhost is unavailable i tried plugging the ups into several different usb

Hi, I've been trying to get my new Tripplite OmniVS100 UPS (USB Connection) to work on my system. What I have is: Ubuntu 10.04 Server Nut 2.4.3 /etc/nut/ups.conf [omni] Driver = usbhid-ups Port = auto Desc = "My Server" /etc/nut/nut.conf MODE=standalone I followed the instructions at this link:

Nut will monitor the ups and shutdown Linux when the ups goes to low battery as it should. But the UPS is not shut down so the system will restart when the power is restored. If I switch the UPS off , restore power and switch the UPS on the system will restart. I have not been able to get nut to switch the UPS off after it brings the system down. I can get the UPS to switch off with upscmd

I have just recently gotten NUT to work on my system, with much assistance from Charles Lepple, and am very?grateful for his assistance. ? I now have a question regarding the NUT-Monitor program. ?There is a tool in the GUI that is for sending devicecommands. ?I can't get it to work. ?Whenever I try to send a command I get the following message: Failed to send <command> ?(ERR USERNAME

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

Looking for some help with this UPS. ?I am running Debian Jessie 8.1 (32 bit). ?I live inCosta Rica so UPS purchase options, in my price range, are fairly slim. ?I purchased thereferenced UPS, which works with WinPower software, but am really hesitant to installWinPower as I don't know how it might affect things and don't want to break the system.
