Is it possible that these values are the result of my trying to change these settings? I don't remember specifically which settings I was trying to change, but I was trying to configure the UPS to request a shutdown of my PC earlier during the power failure. Currently, it waits until the battery is nearly depleted, which leaves no battery after the power comes back on. > > Changing this, requires rebuilding the package. Can you do that?

I can also switch to the development version, if you think that would make things easier. Will I be able to use my existing configuration files? If you think I should, I will work on downloading the development version and get it built and installed and working (as much as the current version is working, that is). It would be easier for me to just make changes to the existing version and re-build/install it, but I'll let you decide which you think is best. > > Best regards, Arjen > Thank you so much for helping me with this, Arjen. _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list Nut-upsuser@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
