In general, mentioning Linux, when appropriate, is likely to promote it. More specifically, if you told them in advance that you are running Linux it could be that you were told that the nut is not working with that ups, at least saving some of your time. And regarding upsmon, what about support for upsmon? Upgrades? Can't it stop working when you will upgrade the software? Worse, it will continue to work in a partial manner, and the user will find that out in the wrong circumstances. In addition, the nut has many features which I believe are not available with upsmon. For example, network capabilities, one framework for many ups vendors, one framework for different users, and probably more. > I saw in google that you were > involved with this a few years ago.

Either they are not allowed and/or don't want to expose the data or that they don't know it and didn't bother to find out. > And it was shipped without a serial cable, and I bought one only > last eve (a few hours before posting). Was it purchased directly from them? I think you should complain about it. At least in the past the norm was to provide a serial and power cable with the ups. Maybe this norm was changed. Once again, complaining even though it seems pointless might help someone else. In addition, I believe that this discussion is *On* Topic (OT). -- "If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple.
