Hello everybody,
I've decided to do it the hard way, choosing something else than an APC with USB (that is said to run simply).
I'm nuts (sorry):hammer:
According to the doc, My UPS model is 'genericups upstype=16' and is plug on the serial port 0.
So my /etc/ups/ups.conf file looks like (no templates for the test) :
[UPS]
# driver = hidups
driver = genericups upstype=16
# port = /var/lib/ups/hiddev0
port = /dev/ttyS0
And my /etc/sysconfig/ups file sounds like that :
# DEVICE=/var/lib/ups/hiddev0
DEVICE=/dev/ttyS0
#MODEL=hidups
MODEL=genericups upstype=16
OPTIONS=
SERVER=yes
So, when I try :
#service nut start
I've got the 3 [OK], but in /var/log/messages :
Sep 20 20:39:48 test upsmon[5435]: Startup successful
Sep 20 20:39:48 test upsd[5430]: Connection from 127.0.0.1
Sep 20 20:39:48 test upsmon[5436]: Poll UPS [localhost] failed - Data stale
Sep 20 20:39:48 test upsmon[5436]: UPS localhost is unavailable
sep 20 20:39:48 test upsmon: UPS: localhost (slave) (power value 1)
sep 20 20:39:48 test upsmon: Using power down flag file /etc/killpower
sep 20 20:39:48 test upsmon:
sep 20 20:39:48 test nut: Démarrage de upsmon succeeded
Sep 20 20:39:53 test upsmon[5436]: Poll UPS [localhost] failed - Data stale
And, of course, it doesn't works.
A 'service nut stop' command give me an interrresting info :
Can't open /var/lib/ups/genericups-ttyS0.pid: No such file or directory
Is there a simlink to create or something like that ?
Thanks for reading until here,
I hope to find some help.
A+,
RV.

There is a good tutorial on http://linux.developpez.com/cours/upsusb/ that can be helpful.
It's in french but that should not be a problem ;-)

:-D
Cool, very good how-to.
Thx a lot.
I'll give a complete try (with an
usb ups, that I'll receive in 1 month)
and I'll give feed-back here.
