[Nut-upsuser] Shutdown variables

[Simon Wilson]

Thanks, useful.

Started with 2 x levels of debug, and grepped for that element, I see:

Dec  5 14:25:28 emp80 nut-driver at eaton5sx[1418584]:   5.108828#011[D1]  
Path: UPS.PowerSummary.PresentStatus.NeedReplacement, Type: Input,  
ReportID: 0x02, Offset: 8, Size: 8, Value: 0
Dec  5 14:25:29 emp80 nut-driver at eaton5sx[1418584]:   6.419040#011[D2]  
Path: UPS.PowerSummary.PresentStatus.NeedReplacement, Type: Feature,  
ReportID: 0x02, Offset: 8, Size: 8, Value: 0

So is that the UPS telling the driver that it is reporting on it, but  
with value 0? It's the same entries as on the 5S 1000 extract you  
linked.

What are the Input and Feature lines respectively?

Simon.
