Thank you for your message. I'm not entirely sure which distro I'm using but the RPi is running Debian 9 (Stretch). I also have the most up-to-date version of NUT. I have no idea if that helps? </div>

That sounds like a good solution with the systemctl command... I'll look into that.</div>

It's strange that I don't get any errors when I run the nut-server status command but for some reason I don't get the e-mails coming through. Maybe I've forgotten to start some service in the background?</div>

Those are issues with understanding your distro. For the latter, if <br>
you are using systemd, and your systemd service is called<br>
nut-server.service (as it is in Fedora), you would enable it at boot<br>
with "systemctl enable nut-server". Systemd automatically starts<br>
prerequistites first, so on Fedora at least, starting nut-server first<br>
starts nut-driver. You probably also need to start nut-monitor, as<br>
that is the usual place you would configure sending notifications.<br>
<br>
Sorry, I don't have details on Debian.<br>
