[Nut-upsuser] upsmon fails to start

[Mick]

Hi All,

I have noticed these messages in my logs:

===============


In /run/nut/ I see these entries, with no upsmon.pid present:

$ sudo ls -la /var/run/nut
total 8
drwxrwx---  2 root nut  100 Sep  1 14:44 .
drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 600 Sep  1 13:17 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 nut  nut    5 Sep  1 13:14 upsd.pid
srw-rw----  1 nut  nut    0 Sep  1 14:44 usbhid-ups-T1000G3
-rw-r--r--  1 nut  nut    5 Sep  1 13:14 usbhid-ups-T1000G3.pid


My MONITOR line *has* a username, so I don't understand what I have configured 
wrong this time.  In /etc/nut/upsd.users I have set:
===================================================
# The matching MONITOR line in your upsmon.conf would look like this:
#
# MONITOR myups at localhost 1 upsmon pass master  (or slave)

[upsmon]
        password = 5g>j0vh3NfRW#if
        upsmon master
==================================


The /etc/nut/upsmon.conf file contains:
=======================================
MONITOR T1000G3 at localhost 1 upsmon 5g>j0vh3NfRW#if master
NOTIFYFLAG ONLINE     SYSLOG+WALL
NOTIFYFLAG ONBATT     SYSLOG+WALL
NOTIFYFLAG LOWBATT    SYSLOG+WALL
# NOTIFYFLAG FSD        SYSLOG+WALL
# NOTIFYFLAG COMMOK     SYSLOG+WALL
# NOTIFYFLAG COMMBAD    SYSLOG+WALL
NOTIFYFLAG SHUTDOWN   SYSLOG+WALL
NOTIFYFLAG REPLBATT   SYSLOG+WALL
# NOTIFYFLAG NOCOMM     SYSLOG+WALL
# NOTIFYFLAG NOPARENT   SYSLOG+WALL
===================================


The /etc/nut/ups.conf has:
==========================
[T1000G3]
        driver = usbhid-ups
        port = auto
        vendorid = 03f0
        productid = 1fe2
        desc = "HP T1000 G3 UPS"
================================


These are the permissions in /etc/nut:

$ ls -la /etc/nut
total 52
drwxr-xr-x  2 root nut   4096 Sep  1 15:05 .
drwxr-xr-x 79 root root  4096 Sep  1 13:15 ..
-rw-r-----  1 root nut   1544 Nov 13  2017 nut.conf
-rw-r-----  1 root nut   4714 Nov 13  2017 ups.conf
-rw-r-----  1 root nut   4578 Mar 20  2015 upsd.conf
-rw-r-----  1 root nut   2184 Sep  1 12:56 upsd.users
-rw-r-----  1 root nut  15642 Sep  1 14:57 upsmon.conf
-rw-r-----  1 root nut   3887 Mar 20  2015 upssched.conf

What may be wrong in my configuration?
