OK, thanks for forwarding it.
1. OK. I'll happily provide any debug info or compile any code you
might need on my system. I can't send you my 1500XL, but I can make my
system pretty available.
2. NUT 2.2.2-6.2 I'm not sure how to look up any extensions, unless
you need me to look up the versions of libc6, libupsclient1,libusb, etc.
The only other package I am running other than NUT (and of course its
dependencies) is knutclient 0.9.4-1
3. Permanently. That's why I had to write the script.
4. What Windows shows is correct. It's really not hard to know a
fully charged 24VDC battery pack should not read as 16V, and as I said, a
voltmeter confirms the reported values are incorrect. Irrespective of what
Windows does, the Linux driver should report correct values.
5. Here are the results of the upsc comand:
RAID-Server:/RAID/Recordings# upsc -L RAID-Server
RAID-Server: TrippLite OmniSV 1500XL
RAID-Server:/RAID/Recordings# upsc Raid-Server

driver.version: 2.2.2

ups.firmware: F2211.A
ups.firmware.aux: protocol 2001
ups.mfr: Tripp Lite
ups.model: UPS
ups.power.nominal: 1500
ups.status: OL
I've included a snippet from the syslog (remember, the script checks for
tripplite_usb in memory every 5 seconds and runs "/etc/init.d/nut start" if
it is not in memory.

Leslie,
This message is most appropriate for the NUT user list. I kept Rik
Faith's and Nicholas Kain's copyright information because the
tripplite_usb driver borrows heavily from the tripplite (serial)
driver, but they are not responsible for the mess that I made in the
USB driver.
See below.

Support for the 1500XL is a fluke - I did not have that unit
available for testing.

One important version missing from this list is the NUT package
version (including any Debian-specific version extensions).

Temporarily or permanently? Usually, the driver reconnects fairly
quickly.

Since we don't currently ship NUT for Windows XP, and because Tripp-
Lite does not (to my knowledge) publish source code for their USB-
based monitoring software, there is naturally going to be a gap
between what NUT shows, and what you see in XP.

What does 'upsc' return?
