I think that part of the output is controlled by the 'wall' command. If you run 'wall' from a command line, does it display your current TTY? The current TTY isn't defined once a process daemonizes. The wall output is optional, especially if you have your own NOTIFYCMD defined in upsmon.conf. http://www.networkupstools.org/docs/man/upsmon.conf.html -- Charles Lepple clepple@gmail _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
