But yet again, in a manner inconsistent with what is most commomly seen. *Consistency* across a platform (*nix, whatever) goes a long way, and doing something differently out of arrogance, or just to be different it rather nonsensical . . . On April 30, 2024 3:43:01 PM EDT, Jim Klimov via

"why would anyone want to use "host:port" when "host port" works? That just seems like "I want to rewrite the config format, because [why?]." I see the host:port nomenclature in a *lot* of software, and the one thing it gives is far easier parsing of multiple listen address:port pairs. IE, to

(Bit by the goofy, only on this forum, reply-to add'r nonsense . . . sorry!) Add an appropriate udev rule to give "nutty" access, or grant "nutty" the group which has it already. USB devices are *NOT* public by design. - Tim On February 28, 2024 12:13:33 PM EST, Jim Klimov via Nut-upsuser

"Is it possible I need to compile NUT myself insteadĀ of using the Ubuntu package?" Certainly! For me, it's very rare that I install anything that isn't compiled from source. As long as you have compilers and any prerequisite packages in place, it's close to a trivial process. - Tim On

Re: [Nut-upsuser] [Nut-upsdev] How verbose should NUT be by default?

2023-01-09 Thread Tim Dawson
My take is virtually silent in normal operation. A brief startup message, and then nothing more that critical/fatal errors and major events/state changes. If something happens, the user/admin can turn up debug to capture the next fault (and if there isn't, then nothing to debug). Horrific

Either adjust the udev rules to create the tty devices with the desired owner/perm, or add the nut user to the appropriate group to have access to the device . . .Worst case, you can "brute force" by putting your chmod in rc.local so it resets at boot (but that is pretty gross as solutions go .

I'm going to guess that since your test runtime of 305 is very close to the low limit of 300, that's the warning. Not yet a fail, but very, very close. On October 31, 2020 11:41:39 AM CDT, Rick Dicaire wrote: >Hi folks, new to list... >nut 2.7.2 on Ubuntu 16.04 with Cyberpowersystems
