[Nut-upsuser] Timer doesn't appear to start

[Greg Treantos]

I have a Raspberry PI that I have connected to a Deltec UPS via serial
(upscode2 driver). I had an older version of Rasbian running. The nut
configuration worked fine but I had mail issues I couldn't resolve when
gmail changed how it handled MTAs. Plus it was running an old version of
Deb that is no longer supported. It was broken enough I could not upgrade
to a never version so I started from scratch.

I have NUT running but can not get upssched.conf to work.  On the old OS
when I pull the power I would see a message in the syslog that a timer was
set. On the new system I never see that message. I do get these new
messages when I unplug the UPS to test

I stopped the upsmon service and started manually with upsmon -DDD. Here is
the output
:

I've checked to make sure PIPEFN LOCKFIN directory can be written to by my
nut user. I never see a pid file created after the power is pulled
however.

here is my upssched.conf


CMDSCRIPT /bin/upssched-cmd

PIPEFN /home/nutmon/upssched/upssched.pipe

LOCKFN /home/nutmon/upssched/upssched.lock

AT COMMBAD deltec-PRA1500 at localhost START-TIMER upsgone 10

AT ONBATT deltec-PRA1500 at localhost START-TIMER upsonbat 60

AT COMMOK deltec-PRA1500 at localhost CANCEL-TIMER upsgone

AT ONLINE deltec-PRA1500 at localhost CANCEL-TIMER upsonbat

AT COMMOK deltec-PRA1500 at localhost EXECUTE upsback

AT ONLINE deltec-PRA1500 at localhost EXECUTE upsonac

AT LOWBATT deltec-PRA1500 at localhost EXECUTE upslow

Not that I am getting there but /bin/upssched-cmd is executable by my Nut
user and works.

Thanks for any help with this.
