[Nut-upsuser] One more try at nut, this time on debian 7.8 (wheezy)

Greetings Charles;

I eventually gave up making it work on ubuntu-10.04.4 LTS, and that drive 
is slowly curling up its toes, so I am running wheezy on a fresher drive 
now.

I have installed all the nut stuffs from the repo, and now have two more 
scripts in /etc/init.d called nut-client and nut-server.

dmesg |grep Belkin - :
root at coyote:/etc/nut# dmesg|grep Belkin
[    4.242066] usb 2-3: Product: Belkin UPS
[    4.242069] usb 2-3: Manufacturer: Belkin 
[    4.975284] generic-usb 0003:050D:0751.0001: hiddev0,hidraw0: USB HID 
v1.11 Device [Belkin  Belkin UPS] on usb-0000:00:02.0-3/input0


I have added this stanza to /etc/nut/nut.conf:
[myups]
driver=generic-usb
port=/dev/ttyUSB0

Some attempts to start nut-server:
root at coyote:/etc/nut# /etc/init.d/nut-server start
[ ok ] Starting NUT - power devices information server and drivers:  
(driver(s) failed). upsd.
root at coyote:/etc/nut# /etc/init.d/nut-server stop
[ ok ] Stopping NUT - power devices information server and drivers: upsd 
(driver(s) failed).
root at coyote:/etc/nut# /etc/init.d/nut-server start
[ ok ] Starting NUT - power devices information server and drivers:  
(driver(s) failed). upsd.
root at coyote:/etc/nut# /etc/init.d/nut-server status
Checking status of NUT - power devices information server and drivers
[ ok ] upsd is running.

Even though I installed nut-doc, there are no man pages so I am running in 
the dark again.

Where is the initial config and startup procedure to be found?  ISTR it 
was a web page at one time.

Thanks Charles.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
