Hi all, I use an APC Back-UPS RS 800, overall my experience with NUT is very good but there is one feature I am missing: the ability to ask the UPS for a battery test. upscmd -l shows the following commands available:
$ upscmd -l rs800 Instant commands supported on UPS [rs800]: beeper.disable - Disable the UPS beeper beeper.enable - Enable the UPS beeper beeper.mute - Temporarily mute the UPS beeper beeper.off - Obsolete (use beeper.disable or beeper.mute) beeper.on - Obsolete (use beeper.enable) load.off - Turn off the load immediately load.off.delay - Turn off the load with a delay (seconds) shutdown.reboot - Shut down the load briefly while rebooting the UPS shutdown.stop - Stop a shutdown in progress test.panel.start - Start testing the UPS panel test.panel.stop - Stop a UPS panel test $ As you can see, it is possible to test the front panel, and that works OK, but no test.battery.start/stop. I would like to know if other APC Back-UPS RS users see the same problem. If the feature is missing from the driver, I would like to know why, as well as offer my help to implement it. I don't know the NUT code at all, but I can help with testing. I know the hardware supports it because the Windows software that APC ships does implement it, and it worked OK last time I tried (several months ago.)
