Yes. It was at 100% when I checked that afternoon. > >> The UPS is a Tripp-Lite AVR550U.

For a while I struggled with newhidups, but I never got it working properly. Right now I don't recall the problem, but it was discussed on the list. Then I spent a while trying to solve the problem of the ownership of the /dev/hiddev* files getting reset after a reboot. I didn't quite fix that either. Then other things came up and I lost interest. It seemed to be working more or less OK. I will probably get back into these issues soon because we just got a new computer with a new UPS (an APC Smart-UPS). Since this has both a serial port and a USB, I wonder whether it will be less painful to stick with the serial interface. _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
