quick question, Is there an issue with centos 5 that prevents it from running Nut greater then 2.2.3 ?

Hey all,

I have a triplite 1050 and when I did a test today  I saw that the battery 
bounce from 100 to 80 to 90 to 91 percent before UPSD lost its connection to 
the UPS. The server then decided that it was time to shut off.

The UPS sat at 91% for about 5 min before UPSD lost its connection, so I'm not 
sure if it wasn't updating its battery.charge... I wasn't sure if this is 
expected behavior...
If upsd loses its connection to the driver, and the last status was "on 
battery", it assumes the worst, and attempts to shut down.

Luckily this was a planned test and my script just outputs to messages that it 
believes it is time to shut off.

It looks like the kernel rediscovered the UPS at 15:34:43. How much time had 
elapsed since you cut power?

This version of NUT (2.2.2) is fairly old - newer versions of the USB code in 
NUT will attempt to reconnect more aggressively. I don't remember if this 
particular version is prone to crashing when an UPS disconnects, but that might 
have been the impetus behind some of the changes since then.

Also, is the UPS plugged directly into the server with a short USB cable? UPS 
tests and power failures can cause USB interference. A hub should theoretically 
work, but it is probably not something to rely on.
