Yes.  The one in /usr/local/ups/etc is the only one it can find

Copy/paste:

MODE=standalone

Aha!  The paths in the /etc/init.d/nut script were wrong.  Fixed that up 
and a sudo service nut restart seems to have fired it right up.  Except 
that /usr/local/ups/bin/upsc myups is connection refused.  And it is not 
visible in htop.

Next?

Thank you Charles
