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

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. ?

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.

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 . . . 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.

Hello, I have a Tripplite SMART2200VS that isn't being shut down when the nut master asks it to. My initial test was simply upsmon -c fsd which caused the system to shut down, but the UPS remained on and providing power to its loads. Looking in the logs (daemon and syslog) it was not clear to me that NUT was telling the UPS to shut down (I was expecting to see "Shutting down the UPS

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

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

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 .?

Any chance someone put 'mesg n' in the system profiles? That wou;d suppress wall output. Try typing just 'mesg' and see what it says . . . otherwise, check permissions on wall perhaps . . . - Tim On July 15, 2015 7:43:38 PM CDT, john hart <jsamcr at yahoo.com> wrote: >Tried 'echo hi | wall' and no message. ?I looked at 'wall -h' and it >would seem that

I just looked at the ups.conf file and noticed that I have ondelay=40. Should that not have overwritten the value shown for ups.delay.start? Perhaps this UPS is not ready for prime time ! However it works okay for me. John Hart -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

After some testing, I notice that my NOTIFYCMD script seems to work if I call it as user 'john' (that's me) but if I call it as 'root' it does not work. So is there a permissions issue ? I have permission on the file set to 755. I see there is a variable in upsmon.conf called RUN_AS_USER. I do not have this defined. Does this variable need to be defined ? I presume that if

As a follow up on my last message, where I talked about loss of USB communication with my Asium P700 UPS, I was thinking about some possible improvements.? 1.? When communications are lost, instead of shutting down immediately why not set a flag and then stop the driver and then restart the driver.? If communication is not re-established, and the flag was set, then shut down the system.? Perhaps
