I have tried commenting it out again - it has made no difference.  If
I rename the file to something else upsd won't start so I know it's
reading the right file.

root# grep MAX upsd.conf
# MAXAGE <seconds>
# MAXAGE 60
root# ../sbin/upsd -DDDDD -u root

The interval between thing 'Pinging UPS' messages seems to be roughly
5 seconds.  Can I debug the parsing of the config file?

Cheers,
