Just playing basically, as I can see it no longer gets launched from 
/e/i/those 2 scripts, which I should nuke, along with /etc/nut & 
nut-bak, so I just did a

git pull && make distclean && ./autogen.sh && ./configure -with-all=auto 
&& make

just to see if that pi can do it. If it doesn't puke somewhere, I'll be 
back for more advice on this systemd startup.  The ups is a cyberpower 
650 about 5 years old, still on oem battery. 9% load, 6 or 7 seconds 
till standby puts out. I ran nut-2.7.4 basically for its --wall logging.

Thanks Jim.  Take care & stay well.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
