The > problematic units are not owned by us - we maintain them for our customers. a few more questions: - does this happens with *all* the US units? - is there anything special with these setups (like the UPS bundled in a bigger packager, with possible EMI...)? - can you try adding "notification = 1" (this will disable notifications from the UPS, and keep only the polling) to the ups.conf definition, and restart the driver to see if it's better? - can you forward the outputs from mge-shut too (if possible with and without the notification flag)? thanks, Arnaud -- Linux / Unix Expert R&D - MGE Office Protection Systems - http://www.mgeops.com Network UPS Tools (NUT) Project Leader - http://www.networkupstools.org/ Debian Developer - http://people.debian.org/~aquette/ Free Software Developer - http://arnaud.quette.free.fr/ _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
