[Nut-upsuser] NUT with Cyber Power 700 AVR

[Rob Donovan]

This post is a follow up to my previous post here 
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/nut-upsuser/2010-August/006175.html

The UPS NOCOMM condition was triggered again this morning, 10 days after 
the last restart.  This is the third time it has happened, and every 
time it has been after 10 days of uptime - which is starting to look 
suspicious.  Anyway, I can report that the setuid restart hack that I 
posted before works fine.  /var/log/syslog shows the old processes 
exiting and the new processes starting up successfully.  ps -ef | grep 
ups returns

root     12694     1  0 Aug30 ?        00:00:00 /sbin/upsmon
nut      12696 12694  0 Aug30 ?        00:00:23 [upsmon] <defunct>
nut      20309     1  0 10:00 ?        00:00:00 /lib/nut/usbhid-ups -a 
cp1500avr1
nut      20311     1  0 10:00 ?        00:00:00 /sbin/upsd
root     20313     1  0 10:00 ?        00:00:00 /sbin/upsmon
nut      20314 20313  0 10:00 ?        00:00:00 /sbin/upsmon

showing that the new upsmon has successfully forked into 2 processes 
with owners root and nut.  I think the root ownership proves that the 
setuid worked.  As before the old upsmon root process failed to die, 
with the old upsmon nut process becoming defunct.
