Is this intentional?
PS, progress of sorts: I have followed along on the web page's install & configure, editing to fix changes in the syntax according to the warnings returned, untill I get to the upsd start(which has to be done as root), and its returning this: [r...@coyote etc]# /usr/local/ups/sbin/upsd Network UPS Tools upsd 2.4.3-2672 /usr/local/ups/etc/upsd.conf is world readable upsd.conf: invalid directive LISTEN: all listening on localhost port 3493 getaddrinfo: Servname not supported for ai_socktype Now I'd assume the chmod 0640 applies to everything, and that the whole REJECT line is a no-op now. That now gets me this: [r...@coyote etc]# /usr/local/ups/sbin/upsd Network UPS Tools upsd 2.4.3-2672 listening on localhost port 3493 getaddrinfo: Servname not supported for ai_socktype [r...@coyote etc]# /usr/local/ups/sbin/upsd -c stop Network UPS Tools upsd 2.4.3-2672 fopen /var/state/ups/upsd.pid: No such file or directory So obviously it is not running, however, when I used the web page sample 'ACL' etc, it warned but ran ok (I think): [r...@coyote etc]# /usr/local/ups/sbin/upsd Network UPS Tools upsd 2.4.3-2672 ACL in upsd.conf is no longer supported - switch to LISTEN ACL in upsd.conf is no longer supported - switch to LISTEN ACCEPT in upsd.conf is no longer supported - switch to LISTEN REJECT in upsd.conf is no longer supported - switch to LISTEN listening on 127.0.0.1 port 3493 listening on ::1 port 3493 Connected to UPS [coyotes-ups]: usbhid-ups-coyotes-ups And: [r...@coyote etc]# /usr/local/ups/bin/upsc coyotes-...@localhost ups.status OL CHRG Then the whole list: [r...@coyote etc]# /usr/local/ups/bin/upsc coyotes-...@localhost battery.charge: 100 battery.charge.low: 30 battery.charge.warning: 30 battery.runtime: 120 battery.type: PbAc battery.voltage: 27.8 battery.voltage.nominal: 24 device.mfr: Belkin device.model: Belkin UPS device.serial: device.type: ups driver.name: usbhid-ups driver.parameter.pollfreq: 30 driver.parameter.pollinterval: 2 driver.parameter.port: /dev/hidraw2 driver.version: 2.4.3-2672 driver.version.data: Belkin HID 0.12 driver.version.internal: 0.35 input.frequency: 60.0 input.frequency.nominal: 60 input.transfer.high: 140 input.transfer.high.max: 144 input.transfer.high.min: 140 input.transfer.low: 88 input.transfer.low.max: 88 input.transfer.low.min: 84 input.voltage: 125.9 input.voltage.nominal: 120 output.frequency: 60.0 output.voltage: 126.5 ups.beeper.status: enabled ups.delay.shutdown: 20 ups.delay.start: 30 ups.firmware: 1 ups.load: 30 ups.mfr: Belkin ups.model: Belkin UPS ups.power.nominal: 1500 ups.productid: 0751 ups.serial: ups.status: OL CHRG ups.test.result: Done and passed ups.timer.shutdown: 0 ups.timer.start: 0 ups.type: offline ups.vendorid: 050d So, whats next, reload the web page in a few hours? Or just ignore the warnings? ;-) Well, I thought I was fixing upsmon.conf correctly, but: [r...@coyote etc]# /usr/local/ups/sbin/upsmon Network UPS Tools upsmon 2.4.3-2672 Unable to use old-style MONITOR line without a username Convert it and add a username to upsd.users - see the documentation Fatal error: unusable configuration Sigh...
