[Nut-upsuser] NOTIFYCMD not running

Philippe Andersson I think tried to respond on this thread but all I see is
your corporate email signature?

I did some more troubleshooting tonight.  TL;DR at the end.  First,
confirmed that NOTIFYCMD is in fact firing.  So I changed it to:
NOTIFYCMD logger "NOTIFYCMD FIRED!"
followed by:
sudo service nut-client restart
and that message does show up in /var/log/messages when I pull the plug on
the ups, so something is happening.

Next I tried changing the command to a bash script:
NOTIFYCMD /etc/nut/call-ups-log.sh

Inside that bash script, I just have this:

#!/bin/sh
logger "called call-ups-log.sh"
/home/pi/Documents/scripts/ups-log.py "$*"

"called call-ups-log.sh" shows up in /var/log/messages as expected, but the
python script still isn't getting called.  I thought maybe it was something
to do with the directory Documents/scripts/ so I moved it to /etc/nut/ and
reconfigured everything, same result.  But at this point the bash script
and python script are in the same directory with the same owner and
permissions.

TL;DR: I think at this point I've eliminated permissions problems, but
there's something that is preventing NUT NOTIFYCMD from calling a python
script properly.  The python script I'm using is here, it's working fine
when I call it from a command line:

Thanks for all the help and sorry for the text brick!


Moved call-ups-log.sh to Documents/scripts, and all of a sudden it's not
working anymore either.  Okay, so maybe it's the directory.
