Hi Kjell, Sorry for the delay in responding. You were right I do have permission problems on the '/proc/bus/usb/00x/00x'. As I have problems understanding the hotplug operation on SuSE 10.0 I ended up downloading the nut-2.0.3-13.src.rpm from the SuSE 10.1 factory depository. The /etc/init.d/upsd init script SuSE supplied is buggy but I believe I can get this to work. Thank you for your quick responce it is greatly appreciated. -- Regards, Graham Smith _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
