When I disconnect my UPS from the wall, I have to wait 15-30 seconds before the USB drier 'polls' this information and tells me that the UPS is on battery power (via knutclient or syslog via nut):
[EMAIL PROTECTED] POWER ALERT on Fri Jan 26 12:49:29 EST 2007 With a serial connection, I would get the alerts IMMEDIATELY (0.5-1 seconds) after disconnecting the UPS. My new machine does not have a serial port built-in, only a serial header, and of course does not come with an included cable, so I chose to use USB. My question is, how do I change the polling time that nut uses to poll the device to match that of the serial port? The reason I'd like to is I am not going to see any power alerts for unless there is a power outage for longer than 15-30 seconds. I've checked the FAQ on this, do I have to change the 'MAXAGE' parameter to force more frequent updates?
