The reboot worked. Thank You! Now I get:
$ sudo upsdrvctl start [sudo] password for wsadmin: Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.6.3 Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.35 (2.6.3) USB communication driver 0.31 Can't chdir to /var/run/nut: No such file or directory Driver failed to start (exit status=1) I'm going to do: mkdir /var/run/nut chown root:nut /var/run/nut chmod 770 /var/run/nut Is this right? Are the chmod permissions correct?
