<div dir="ltr">Thank you for that, very much appreciate your help. I’ll have another go when I’m over at Nan’s house! Do you know what else I could try to solve the issue of no e-mails being sent? I know my e-mail settings were correct as it all worked previously.
This is all rather odd! Hopefully I can get the e-mails being sent and ensure NUT starts automatically after a reboot. I feel like I’m getting closer!</div>

<div dir="ltr">Charles, when you say I’ll need to enable upsmon-monitor... could you tell me the script to go about that? Sorry for my lack of knowledge in all this! </div>

Those are issues with understanding your distro. For the latter, if you are using systemd, and your systemd service is called<br class="">
nut-server.service (as it is in Fedora), you would enable it at boot<br class="">
with "systemctl enable nut-server". Systemd automatically starts<br class="">
prerequistites first, so on Fedora at least, starting nut-server first<br class="">
starts nut-driver. You probably also need to start nut-monitor, as<br class="">
that is the usual place you would configure sending notifications.<br class="">

Sorry, I don't have details on Debian.<br class="">

<div class="">Not sure if you saw Roger's message (he sent it directly to the list, and it doesn't look like you are subscribed): <a href="https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/nut-upsuser/2019-May/011373.html" class="">https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/nut-upsuser/2019-May/011373.html</a> His
guide covers a lot of the setup process, including a script to email about power status changes. Personally, once the services start at boot, I would be satisfied with just notifying on COMMBAD and NOCOMM events (between the two, that should cover USB-related
errors), but in the end it's up to you to trade off between complexity of the initial setup, and reliability in the long term.</div>
