After I clicked send, immediately after I clicked send, I realized that it was a perl module. That's the only nut package I came up with, when I searched with yum, so I didn't have the proper search terms. > > You should have done a yum info first. > > # yum info perl-UPS-Nut.noarch <snip> > Summary: Perl module to talk to a UPS via Network UPS Tools (NUT) upsd > Description: > perl-UPS-Nut is a Perl module to talk to a UPS via NUT (Network UPS Tools) > upsd. > > This package contains the following Perl module: > > UPS::Nut > > Looks like rpmfind doesn't show any for RHEL :/ You might have to roll your > own. > Let's try and get Apcupsd working first, your config was wrong to start so > its worth > trying again. Thank you! I feel better about not finding the packages for nut, when I searched with yum! :-) I hope apcupsd will work with this UPS, if I can configure it properly. I will try apcupsd again. What should I change in the config for apcupsd? Just a little bit of knowledge, which is what I have about Linux, can be *extremely* dangerous.... I had come up with the idea that I might need to "roll" my own package(s) for nut, but I will really need to RFM before even thinking about trying to do that, because I'm not sure what that involves.... I have 2 books: "Running Linux" and "Red Hat Fedora and Enterprise Linux 4 Bible" which probably will explain that, along with the CentOS Wiki. The development tools are installed on this box, if I need them to do that. Joe: Thank you very much. And you called me "son". Who is older? :-) Lanny _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
