It also goes on to say that 'upsd prints dots while it waits for the driver to respond'. This didn't happen. All I got was /usr/local/ups/sbin/upsd Network UPS Tools upsd 2.4.1 not listening on 192.168.0.95 port 3493 The last line is not a problem, as that address is this laptop, which was configured to access the software when necessary, but was not running at that moment. Just in case I was worrying for nothing, I tried the next command (as root): /usr/local/ups/bin/upsc borg2Liebert at borg2 ups.status Error: Connection failure: Connection refused > The driver specified by the NUT docs for your UPS is the same one I > had to use for one of my APC UPSs which is USB based. > After going through all this again to explain for you, that has made me think that I should check ownership etc again in the morning, and try the commands again as 'nut' rather than as root. It's making me think of when I set amanda up, and the commands always had to be run as amanda. It has to be worth a try.
