Not quite the same results - now you have some output from "logger".

In order to debug this, the results need to be consistent and repeatable.

Some questions to narrow things down:

* What version of NUT are you running?
* What kind of system are you running?
* What do the permissions look like on files in /etc/ups or /etc/nut?
(this can cause problems when reloading configuration files)
* How did you reload the upsmon.conf configuration file?
* Are you sure that you get the same results when you run the "logger"
command by hand?

Based on your latest config file excerpt, this is the command line
that should get passed to /bin/sh (via the system() C library call):

  logger 'upsmon: test running notify command' "UPS
upsmasonville at localhost on battery"
