I think the problem might sit here.
upsmon tries to get the user name under which it should start.
and it's displayed as "null" here!

Questions:
- how did you installed NUT? (from source or package)
=> if from source, what did you put for <username> in the "configure
--with-user=<username>"? This default to nobody if you have not put
anything, so check a nobody user exists, or create one.
=> if from package, what system, URL of the packages, ...

# ps aux|grep ups

we don't need more for the moment, just time to audit...
