I've got persistent trouble getting nut to work, though I think I've =
done everything by the book (the Debian specific readme included). I've =
tracked it down to upsd not working as it should: it just won't keep =
going. :( I.e. checking the process list (or using its reload command) =
shows that there just isn't a upsd process, at all.
Starting upsd with a few -D's for debugging gives me this answer:
stat /etc/nut/upsd.conf: Permission denied
As simple as that seems, it leaves me clueless. I have obviously checked =
the permissions on that file, they are 640 root:nut, which seems fine to =
me. I set them 777 for a moment, just to test: no improvement :( What am =
I overlooking?
It's a fresh install of Debian 3.1 (sarge), with their nut package =
(2.0.1), Sweex 1000 safenet UPS.
I suppose this is the type of thing that has come up before, so perhaps =
it's in the old list archives? If so, are they still accessible in some =
way?
I'd be gratefull for any hints anyone could provide.
Thanks,
Wim Heemskerk
