[Nut-upsdev] 2.0.3-pre2: Spurious UPS UPS@localhost battery is low ?

[Gordon Rowell]

Hi there,

[ http://www.contribs.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=654 ]

I just received this:

Broadcast message from nut (Sat Feb  4 04:02:45 2006):

UPS UPS at localhost battery is low

and

Feb  4 04:02:45 bigted upsmon[11532]: UPS UPS at localhost battery is low
Feb  4 04:02:45 bigted wall[4032]: wall: user nut broadcasted 1 lines (34
chars)

but I believe this looks o.k., except for the input voltage value. Is it 
meant to be a largish negative number (checked again and got -6301.0).

The system has been running on stable (well, o.k. domestic) line power.

It's certainly not easy to find from http://www.networkupstools.org/ :-)
