Sorry about that - Alioth, the server that hosts the lists, was down due to 
disk failure:

Oops! hahaha. I was wondering. ;)

I've recently installed a CyberPower OR500 on a CentOS 6.4 system.

nut comes RPM'd as nut-hal -- and I've played a little with it - but I'm trying 
to figure out
just what it provides at that point. (looking at the docs, I'm not quite sure)

The idea was that the HAL-based drivers would make the UPS appear like a 
battery to the GNOME power management software, but then HAL was deprecated. So 
we never really finished the documentation.

I'd like NUT on this system to allow my NUT master server to just monitor and 
email notification as the system
NUT-HAL is running on is standalone on its UPS and that's fine with me.

I just want to know when the system has power issues and work NUT's monitoring 
in with my Munin master server as well.

Should I move to the full NUT version on this system (and switch to Serial and 
not USB?)


No need to switch to serial if USB is working - there should be a nut-usb 
package or similar. You will probably have to remove nut-hal to install 
nut-usb. The nut+upsd+upsmon solution is mutually exclusive with nut-hal, but 
they use the same device-specific code, and it sounds like your device is 
compatible.

I'll take a look and reply back.

Thanks Charles!
