Subject: [Nut-upsuser] making UPS setting permanent
Message-ID: <87pl10744y.fsf@gmail.com>

Hi,

I am running NUTS 2.8.1-3.1ubuntu2 on an Ubuntu 24.04 box in my home, on
a personal server, for which I use an Eaton UPS. It is managed by
systemd.

Everything is working great, I just want to disable the beep when there
is a power outage.

>From the excellent docs, it was easy to figure out that I need

$ upscmd eaton beeper.disable

and indeed it works (after I authenticate).

However, this setting is forgotten when the UPS and the system restarts.

What should I do to make it permanent?

best,

Tamas K. Papp

Depending on the device, they might have no permanent memory for settings.
Then you might have to use a separate systemd unit (bound after nut-server)
to apply that upscmd every boot-time.

I was thinking about running command to temporarily disable beeper some time 
after power comes out.

So, I'd get one or two beeps and then silence. 

This would require upssched and testing.
