[Nut-upsuser] Apple Mac slave

[Robbie van der Walle]

Ok rebooted 

All running ok now. Great thanks a lot!  

In system.log 

Jun 15 21:38:54 c01 com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (org.networkupstools.upsmon): Unknown key for Boolean: SuccessfulExit
Jun 15 21:38:54 c01 com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (org.networkupstools.upsmon): This service is defined to be constantly running and is inherently inefficient.

What is the purpose of Boolean:  SuccessfulExit?


>>> I did have to fiddle with permissions of config files - Fink currently builds NUT to run as user "nobody", so I have the following non-default permissions:
>>> 
>>> $ ls -l /sw/etc/nut
>>> ...
>>> -rw-r-----+ 1 root  nobody   2177 Jun 15 08:42 upsd.users
>>> -rw-r-----+ 1 root  nobody  15455 Jun 15 08:50 upsmon.conf

/sw/etc/nut

-rw-r--r--   1 root  admin  12199 Jun 10 16:22 upsmon.conf

This are default permissions. 

I# For best results, you should create a new normal user like "nutmon",
# and make it a member of a "nut" group or similar.  Then specify it
# here and grant read access to the upsmon.conf for that group.
#
# This user should not have write access to upsmon.conf.
#
# RUN_AS_USER nutmon

RUN_AS_USER root

For security reasons you should change root to another user? 

which other rights are needed for this user to make it work? 

Kind Regards,

Rob
