I use nut-ups on a number of systems both attached to a UPS and some as
network slaves. In all my systems I use UPS's that have serial interfaces
and USB, but connect them via serial.
If you read the docs on nut-ups you will see some drivers do support the
USB's. You will need to specify the port in ups.conf typically in
/usr/local/etc/nut
The line would be:
port = /dev/usb0
You can experiment with the port to get the right one. Nut will tell you
if is can or cannot talk to the UPS.

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.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ 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
