Dear List, Sorry if this is a FAQ - I've been looking at
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/nut-upsuser/ but I havn't yet
found the answer.
I have an MGE Ellipse 1500. I run openSUSE 10.2, kernel 2.6.18, nut
2.0.5. ps shows that the following processes are running:
/usr/lib/ups/driver/newhidups -a mgeups
/usr/sbin/upsd -u root
/usr/sbin/upsmon
/usr/sbin/upsmon
lsusb says:
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0463:ffff MGE UPS Systems UPS
/etc/ups/ups.conf:
[mgeups]
driver = newhidups
port = auto
desc = "Computer Room"
/etc/ups/upssched.conf:
CMDSCRIPT /usr/sbin/upssched-cmd
PIPEFN /var/state/ups/upssched.pipe
LOCKFN /var/state/ups/upssched.lock
AT ONBATT * START-TIMER ups-on-battery-timer 30
AT ONLINE * CANCEL-TIMER ups-on-battery-timer
AT ONBATT * EXECUTE ups-on-battery
AT ONLINE * EXECUTE ups-back-on-line
Problem: Disconnecting the UPS from the wall produces the error message
"Failed to connect to parent and failed to create parent: No such file or
directory" but does not shut down the server. I tried some tracing:
pastis:~ # upsmon -DDDD
Network UPS Tools upsmon 2.0.5

What is causing the "Failed to connect to parent" error? Any help would
be much appreciated.
Roger
