[Nut-upsdev] Good news

[john hart]

Tim,
Thanks for the feedback.  I am the only user (standalone system), but I checked 'mesg' and made sure it was set to 'mesg y' .   And the execute permissions for wall are   rwxr-sr-x  and the filename is has a  kind of orange highlightedbackground. Don't know what that means.

Any chance someone put 'mesg n' in the system profiles? That wou;d suppress wall output. Try typing just 'mesg' and see what it says . . . otherwise, check permissions on wall perhaps . . .

Tried 'echo hi | wall' and no message.  I looked at 'wall -h' and it would seem that it is supposed to.  I eventried  ' wall  [<filename> | <message>] '  and got nothing.   Not sure what that means, as when using theNUT-Monitor program I get banners and a 'message' on the system try.   Strange !

Good to hear!

Not sure if you mentioned, but if you run something like "echo hi | wall", does it broadcast a message? If not, I'd say that's a bug in wall, but you could configure upsmon to run a different program to send a message.
