This could mean several things. * perhaps your UPS does not report "on battery". Does it report "low battery"? The latter is all that is technically needed to shut down the computer. * perhaps your UPS or cable is broken, or partially broken * perhaps your UPS is not contact-closure. Maybe it expects proper serial port communications, instead of setting individual pins? In this case, you should use one of the serial drivers. -- Peter _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
