This is perhaps a permissions problem. You need to give newhidups the "-u root" option, or else it will drop root privileges and probably not be able to open the device. Also, the newhidups driver has no "start" argument.
Try this: kill all running drivers, and stop upsd and upsmon. Then: /lib/nut/newhidups -u root -DD -a belkin-ups -- Peter A.Lizard wrote: > > suAt 09:08 AM 2/21/07, you wrote: > looks like you were right, but even with the process killed the problem > doesn't go away.
