[Nut-upsuser] problem with mailing (nut 2.4.1 and a powermust650 -> megatec_usb)

[Thomas Stather]

Hello guys


Yesterday i started do configure my Mustek Powermust650 with nut using 
the megatec_usb driver. Everything works fine except for the mailing 
when something happens. My upsmon looks like this:


MONITOR powermust650 at localhost 1 local controller master
MINSUPPLIES 1
SHUTDOWNCMD "/sbin/shutdown -h +0"
NOTIFYCMD /root/upsmailer
POLLFREQ 10
POLLFREQALERT 5

NOTIFYMSG ONLINE        "UPS %s on line power"
NOTIFYMSG ONBATT        "UPS %s on battery"
NOTIFYMSG LOWBATT       "UPS %s battery is low"
NOTIFYMSG FSD           "UPS %s: forced shutdown in progress"
NOTIFYMSG COMMOK        "Communications with UPS %s established"
NOTIFYMSG COMMBAD       "Communications with UPS %s lost"
NOTIFYMSG SHUTDOWN      "Auto logout and shutdown proceeding"
NOTIFYMSG REPLBATT      "UPS %s battery needs to be replaced"
NOTIFYMSG NOCOMM        "UPS %s is unavailable"
NOTIFYMSG NOPARENT      "upsmon parent process died - shutdown impossible"

NOTIFYFLAG FSD          SYSLOG+WALL+EXEC
NOTIFYFLAG COMMOK       SYSLOG+WALL+EXEC

NOTIFYFLAG NOPARENT     SYSLOG+WALL+EXEC
RBWARNTIME 43200
NOCOMMWARNTIME 300
INALDELAY 5


the /root/upsmailer is just a simple shell script that mails the events, 
it looks like:


#!/bin/bash

RECIPIENT="controller at xxx"
SCRIPTNAME=`basename $0`

[ `echo $UPSNAME | wc -w` -eq "0" ] && UPSNAME="unknown"
[ `echo $NOTIFYTYPE | wc -w` -eq "0" ] && NOTIFYTYPE="unknown"
echo "$*" | mailx -s "$SCRIPTNAME: $UPSNAME $NOTIFYTYPE" $RECIPIENT
exit 0

When i disconnect the UPS from the power line, i get a message in my 
syslog but not on the wall and the script isn't started either. What 
have i done wrong (i'm relatively new to nut :) )?
