That was that, .../ups was 0750, i don't know if it's from the install 
or from one of my tests. But its fixed now.

If its just a mesage error then it's fine. I just wanted to make sure it 
was known.

That allowed me to test with upsc the settings and it seems that the USB 
version is more interesting regarding the data outputed (i have the 
exact same UPS as the one in the INSTALL's exemple, so it was easy to 
compare with). But i've heard that serial connection was safer, does it 
stands still ?


A last question:
I've got "ups.status: OL CHRG" but also have: "battery.charge: 100" is 
it ok ?


Thanks for the help.
