Sorry about that - Alioth, the server that hosts the lists, was down due to disk failure: http://lists.debian.org/debian-infrastructure-announce/2013/11/msg00001.html > 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. -- Charles Lepple clepple@gmail _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list Nut-upsuser@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
