Specifically, I find all of this to be noise:

Connected to UPS [foo]: bestfortress-foo
Found 1 UPS defined in ups.conf

And a question from me:
Have you ever had a situation where the above verbose info, printed on
stdout/stderr, was useful in diagnosing a previous problematic
shutdown (a real one, not a testing one)? If so please describe.
1. There is a difference between once-only verbiage and once every hour
verbiage. Its the every-hour stuff that should not appear by default.
2. The once-only lines confirm that the configuration is correctly set up.
3. Its not just the problematic shutdowns that need help, but also the broken
set-ups.
Cars are required to have indicators that left/right turn signals are operating.
One can argue that they are "noise" since the driver is supposed to know that
he/she is turning left/right. But a confirmation is deemed essential for safe
driving. It seems to me that logging « Network UPS Tools upsd 2.8.0.1 listening
on 127.0.0.1 port 3493 listening on ::1 port 3493 » is also essential for safe
shutdown management.
