OK, I build nut-2.0.2 on another Mac (Powermac G5, 10.4.3 up to date, libusb 0.1.10a).  Brought it up, no complaints from upsdrvctl, upsd.  The output of the upsc: # ./upsc [EMAIL PROTECTED] battery.charge: 100 battery.charge.low: 10 battery.runtime: 5008 battery.voltage: 26.0 battery.voltage.nominal: 26.0 driver.name: newhidups driver.parameter.port: auto driver.version: 2.0.2 driver.version.data: APC HID 0.7 driver.version.internal: 0.23 ups.delay.shutdown: -1 ups.firmware: 8.g7 .D ups.firmware.aux: g7 ups.mfr: American Power Conversion ups.model: Back-UPS RS 1500 ups.serial: JB0322010041  ups.status: OL ups.test.result: No test initiated # The preferences pane does seem to still have control of the UPS - it agrees with the model number, firmware, vendor.   Thanks again Ted On Jan 7, 2006, at 2:23 PM, Charles Lepple wrote: On 1/7/06, Ted <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Thank you sir, I really appreciate your assistance. No problem! One reason though that I like NUT is the expanded UPS data available compared to the built-in that Apple has.  OS X tends to give you percent of battery, and that's in for info.  Nothing more available. True. Maybe we can look at the native OS X HID API. (That was one of the goals of libhid, but it turns out we can cover most of the other Unix-ish systems all by using libusb.) And no remote monitoring either.  And no way (as in my case) to have two systems on one UPS share shutdowns. What I was thinking was to have a new NUT driver that is really a metadriver - it would talk to OS X's power management drivers, allowing you to run NUT on that computer in cases where newhidups won't work, or is messy to install. Then, any other equipment plugged into that UPS could connect to the master. I have another OS X box on a different APC UPS, I'll try that on 2.0.2 - how would I tell it had "stolen" the interface?  As I recall it did get the serial number and model numbers... The easiest thing might be to post the complete upsc output. -- - Charles Lepple
