​Yep, the script works flawlessy with a command line. It is a "modified"
script from other jobs, and I receive daily all the emails from them​

​Maybe I have missing someting. I have exported my configuration to a .dev
file, and then used for dummy ups, configured as dummy. Do i need to make
circular tests (timer configuration) or may I do them manually? Just
beacuse the only command allowed in dummy mode (upscmd -l dummy at artu) is
load.off
