[Nut-upsdev] Strange

[john hart]

Well, if the NUT Monitor gui is opened I get a message almost immediately.  Both a 'pop-up' in the upperright corner of the desktop (LXDE) and a 'message notification' in the system tray.   But never a message in the LXterminal.  
See my previous message for my upsmon.conf

Are you sure this is not a coincidence? Sometimes there is a delay from when you pull the plug, and when the power failure propagates through the NUT toolchain.

You should see a startup message from upsmon in /var/log/syslog.
