I installed Debian 13.1 and was provided with NUT 2.8.1. The good news is that
this fixes the upssched habit of running a tight loop generating full cpu
load. [1]
My ups.conf includes
[heartbeat]
driver = dummy-ups
port = heartbeat.conf
mode = dummy-loop
desc = "Heart beat validation of NUT"
and my heartbeat.conf specification is
# heartbeat.conf 10 minute heartbeat. Time unit is the second
ups.status: OL
TIMER 300
ups.status: OB
TIMER 300
The heart-beat now runs correctly, but the command
root at titan /etc/nut systemctl status nut-monitor
● nut-monitor.service - Network UPS Tools - power device monitor and shutdown
controller
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/nut-monitor.service; enabled;
preset: enabled)

Active: active (running) since Thu 2025-11-27 16:27:32 CET; 1 day 16h ago

...
fills the systemctl log with reminders every 300 seconds that this is indeed NUT
2.8.1 . It's good to have at least 2.8.1 in Debian, but is there some way of
skipping the 300 second reminders ?
