I've got nut running and it works great for me. nut is probably a bit more complicated than your average UPS daemon. It runs four daemons: upsd, upsmon, upslog and a UPS-specific driver. The computer directly connected to the UPS should run all four, while I believe the clients just run upsmon. -- Christopher Farley www.northernbrewer.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
