[Nut-upsuser] Tripp-lite Omni VS1000

[Barb Smith]

That's the problem.  It shows the drivers are running and I can't kill  
them but they don't show up in ps aux.  I get the following:
gentoo mystified # /etc/init.d/upsdrv restart
  * Stopping UPS drivers ...
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.2.2
Can't open /var/lib/nut/tripplite-ups-auto.pid: No such file or directory
  * Failed to stop UPS drivers!

I can't find anything in syslog.  The problem is that on the gentoo forum  
almost no one uses nut.  They use another program.  With my old ups I got  
help from a nut developer who was a gentoo user.
