<font size="-1">Hello and thanks in advance for any help/tips. I am
new to nut and am trying to get it running with a Belkin FC6550AVR
which is a USB device. So I am using the blazer driver. I am on
Ubuntu 14 on an ARM system. The UPS is directly connected to a
single system and so I have used standalone in the setup.<br>
<br>
I have have basic configuration correct, I think.<br>
<br>
And I am running:<br>
<br>
?????? service nut-server start<br>
<br>
on system startup so I can see the upsd running. I can?? issue:<br>
<br>
?????? upsc belkinusb<br>
<br>
and see the expected response in showing variables. And when I
unplug the Belkin from the wall I can see a change in ups.status.
So I know there is some form of communication happening properly
between nut and the Belkin.<br>
<br>
However I am a bit stumped on monitoring. What I want is to
execute a script when the UPS goes on battery. To do this, I think
I have to have the nut-client running. Is this correct? If so I
seem to have some troulbe. When I issue:<br>
<br>
?????? service nut-client start<br>
<br>
I see:<br>
<br>
?????? * Starting NUT - power device monitor and shutdown controller
nut-client[ OK ]<br>
<br>
?????? Broadcast Message from nut@loca<br>
?????????????? (somewhere) at 10:57 ...<br>
<br>
?????? Communications with UPS belkinusb@localhost lost<br>
<br>
?????? Broadcast Message from nut@loca<br>
?????????????? (somewhere) at 10:57 ...<br>
<br>
?????? UPS belkinusb@localhost is unavailable<br>
<br>
Any idea what this means? And if I can managed to do what I want
with only the server running, please let me know what I need to do
to get my script to run when the UPS goes on battery. When I pull
the plug from the wall, my script does not get executed.<br>
<br>
Cheers!<br>
