upssched is only active when needed, ie when upsmon fires it because of
execution triggers.

so you have to meet these conditions, ie switching on battery, ..., as you
have defined in upsmon.conf or as done by default.

note that /var/run/nut is created automatically when calling the nut init
script on Debian.

cheers,
Arnaud
