[John @ BER Ltd]

Hi,

> I'm at my wits end and need help regarding my UPS. I am a newbie to Linux

> (10 months) and need help with trying to configure my UPS to my Linux SME

> server.

> I have little or no experience with Bash and am finding it overwhelming

> when it comes to trying to configure my UPS.

>  I have installed my UPS to my Linux SME server and have installed my

> driver for it. At best I think its running but not configured properly.

> The UPS is connected via USB and am using the megatec-usb driver.

> I am able to run the upsmon command and it gives me all the relevant info

> about the UPS-charge voltage/input/output etc...
