Hey, I'm new to using nut-ups, or any UPS monitoring software. Mainly I want some kind of reporting on power failures, and for a clean shutdown in the event of a prolonged outage. The UPS is an APC Back-UPS ES 500, with a USB interface. With usbd running, usbdevs shows it connected. [msoulier@kanga ~]$ sudo usbdevs Password: addr 1: OHCI root hub, SiS addr 2: Back-UPS ES 500 FW:824.B1.D USB FW:B1, APC addr 1: OHCI root hub, SiS The syntax of upsd.conf requires a pathname for the port to talk do. What device file would this work out to? Any hints on setting this up? If nut-ups isn't the right software, I'm open to suggestions. Cheers, Mike -- Michael P.
