Hi Arjen, Many thanks for your on-going support on this. It seems to be working 'mostly' fine now. Just a few points:
>> The better option would be to modify the udev/hotplug script and not run everything as root. Any pointers on how to do the above? NUT installed from RPM for me so presumably I can get these scripts by downloading the .tar.gz. What needs modification in them? Most of the time, the driver seems to load fine on restart/boot-up. At time however, it does not seem to load and will not load no matter how many times I try after. In order to overcome this I have to switch off the PC, switch off the UPS and then start afresh (switch-on). It therefore seems as though the USB/Serial connection is 'stuck' at times and needs some sort of reset. Is this a known issue and/or is there any way I can overcome this? Thanks, Joe P.S. If you need my exact config maybe you want to document this a working UPS on the NUT page :-).
