interesting... so I tried this and got:
terrarium:/home/alizard# /usr/local/ups/sbin/upsd -u root
Network UPS Tools upsd 2.0.5-pre2
/usr/local/ups/etc/upsd.conf is world readable
Connected to UPS [belkin-ups]: belkin-ups
/usr/local/ups/etc/upsd.users is world readable
terrarium:/home/alizard#
and knutclient suddenly started displaying.
Afterwards, I tried:
2469 ? 00:00:00 upsd
2515 pts/1 00:00:00 ps
terrarium:/home/alizard# kill -9 2469
terrarium:/home/alizard# /etc/init.d/nut start
Starting Network UPS Tools: (upsdrvctl failed).
terrarium:/home/alizard# /etc/init.d nut stop
bash: /etc/init.d: is a directory
terrarium:/home/alizard# /etc/init.d/nut stop
Stopping Network UPS Tools: (upsdrvctl failed) upsd upsmon.
terrarium:/home/alizard# /usr/local/ups/sbin/upsd -u root
Network UPS Tools upsd 2.0.5-pre2
/usr/local/ups/etc/upsd.conf is world readable
Connected to UPS [belkin-ups]: belkin-ups
/usr/local/ups/etc/upsd.users is world readable
[note - I have root , nut , alizard entries in upsd.users ]
upsd.users lists roles - they don't have to be named like the system
users such as root or nut.
The "-u" parameter for the daemons is for overriding the choice of the
"nut" system user.
terrarium:/home/alizard# /usr/local/ups/sbin/upsd -u alizard
Network UPS Tools upsd 2.0.5-pre2
Can't chdir to /var/state/ups: Permission denied
Right, permissions are usually restricted to the nut system user on
that directory.
terrarium:/home/alizard# /usr/local/ups/sbin/upsd -u nut
Network UPS Tools upsd 2.0.5-pre2
/usr/local/ups/etc/upsd.conf is world readable
Can't connect to UPS [belkin-ups] (belkin-ups): Permission denied
This is also expected, since it sounds like you still have the driver
running with "-u root".
