[Nut-upsuser] Running a script after UPSMON starts

[Philip Taylor]

Roger, Manuel,

Thanks very much for your helpful replies. Confirms I haven’t missed anything in nut-monitor and I need to use systemd. What I was looking for was a direct way to run a script but putting it in a service is a good idea that I had missed. Much appreciated.

Regards, Philip.
