[Nut-upsuser] trying to use powerware 3110 USB with NUT

[Kjell Claesson]

Hi John.

Yep, you need the /var/state/ups directory. And it
must be accessible by the user you run the NUT as.

This is how it look's on my side.
ls -al /var/state/
totalt 0
drwxr-xr-x   3 root root  96  9 sep  2004 .
drwxr-xr-x  15 root root 408  1 maj 21.08 ..
-rw-r--r--   1 root root   0  8 sep 22.12 .keep
drwxrwx---   2 nut  nut  144  5 okt 18.09 ups

This directory holds the socket to communicate at
and some pid files.

ls -al /var/state/ups/
totalt 8
drwxrwx---  2 nut  nut  144  5 okt 18.09 .
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root  96  9 sep  2004 ..
srw-rw----  1 nut  nut    0  5 okt 18.07 bcmxcp_usb-auto
-rw-r--r--  1 nut  nut    5  5 okt 18.07 bcmxcp_usb-auto.pid
-rw-r--r--  1 nut  nut    5  5 okt 18.09 upsd.pid

Create this directory, then try.

/usr/local/ups/bin/bcmxcp_usb -DD -a PW3

If your ups.conf holds the.

[PW3]
	driver = bcmxcp_usb
	port = auto
	shutdown_delay = 60
	desc = "My pc"
