[Nut-upsuser] syslog flooding

[Gene Heskett]

Greetings;

Nut pull & build from about two weeks ago, 2.4.3 I believe.  Belkin UPS.
I have everything working but a proper shutdown of upsd when I reboot, 
it hangs there and needs the hdwe reset button to reset it.  That may be 
related to my finding more than 1 K##upsd and more than one K##upsmon, in
/etc/rc5.d and which I have now nuked.

However, while its working well enough to monitor, it is flooding the 
syslog every 2 seconds with:

And my syslog, rotated Sunday morning, is now 21+ megabytes and growing.

Any idea how to stop this, or send it to /dev/null?

Thanks
