[Nut-upsuser] nut setup on ubuntu 10.04

[tcronin at austin.rr.com]

Thanks for the reply

basically make sure it's configured properly.

when i unplug the ups I can see entries on the daemon log file.

I thought I would get some type of notification within a terminal window.

I'm trying to test the complete process down to actual system shutdown.
