Oh, and I forgot to mention that "echo $SHELL" returns /bin/sh for me.

APC replaced my old BR1500GI unit with a brand new one (the one I have now) back in 2015 and this model was one of the newer models back then. So I'd say 2014 to 2015 is more reasonable for the UPS mfr date. Sorry, I'm more of a PowerShell guy so I don't know much with Linux commands. I tried removing the 2>&1 and it did produce an output. What I noticed is that while the debug is running, the driver starts automatically after a few seconds and when I terminate it using Ctrl+C, it stops it on its own. The debug text file is produced but doesn't have any info in it aside from these: Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.41 (2.7.4) USB communication driver 0.33 So I think it's not redirecting the output text properly or something.

Well, I tried both ways and I come up with an > "Ambiguous output redirect." error message. > yes, line break, and each of the commands you put in quotes should all be on one line. What does "echo $SHELL" say? (I'm assuming something like /bin/sh or /bin/ksh, but it might be csh-based.) You can also try without the "2>&1" - I forget which parts go to stdout and which go to stderr (that attempts to redirect stderr to stdout, which then gets piped to tee).
