[Nut-upsuser] iMAC does not shutdown

[Simone Severini]

Hi,
 I verified the existence of

name: _nut

password: *

uid: 503

gid: 502

dir: /var/empty

shell: /usr/bin/false


Which command should I run on /opt/local/var/run/.


Current permission: drwxr-xr-x   4 root  admin  136 Jun  4 19:59 run


Thanks again!

Simone
